Indirect lymphography for sentinel lymph node detection in dogs with mast cell tumors.

Objective: The objective of this report is to describe the technique and diagnostic utility of indirect lymphography (IL) using water-soluble contrast for sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in dogs with mast cell tumors.

Animals: Fifty-three dogs with 59 mast cell tumors were included.

Procedure: Medical records were retrieved for dogs with a cytological diagnosis of mast cell tumor which also had IL performed for lymph node mapping.

Outcomes and prognostic variables associated with primary abdominal visceral soft tissue sarcomas in dogs: A Veterinary Society of Surgical Oncology retrospective study.

Primary abdominal visceral soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare tumours in dogs with little information available on outcomes. The goal of this retrospective, multi-institutional study was to describe the common tumour types, location and prognostic factors associated with primary abdominal visceral STSs. Medical records were searched for dogs with primary abdominal visceral STSs at six institutions and were retrospectively reviewed.
