We report a case of a 28-year-old man with angiosarcoma of the spleen and liver metastases. The aim of this paper is to underline the importance of planned splenectomy in these patients even if they have metastatic disease, and to propose an intensive chemotherapy regimen consisting of anthracyclines, ifosfamide and mesna with G-CSF support.

A 9-year-old spayed female mixed breed dog weighing 6.8 kg with a history of previous splenectomy for hemangiosarcoma 4 years earlier was referred for a hepatic mass lesion. Although the dog did not have a clinical sign, a computed tomography revealed a solitary mass in the left medial lobe of the liver.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the risk and predictive factors of splenic malignancy and hemangiosarcoma in dogs undergoing splenectomy at a surgical specialty clinic. Medical records, hematologic results, surgical reports, and histopathologic results from 182 dogs that underwent splenectomy for the treatment of splenic masses or nodules were reviewed retrospectively. The majority of dogs (57.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the challenges of diagnosing solitary splenic masses in dogs using abdominal ultrasound, which often can't definitively distinguish between benign and malignant lesions.
- Common differential diagnoses include various conditions such as hemangiosarcoma and hematoma, but less frequent tumors like splenic stromal sarcoma are also considered.
- The research specifically evaluated 13 dogs with splenic stromal sarcoma, noting that the masses were solid, noncavitary, and located in the mid-body of the spleen, suggesting that ultrasound can be a helpful diagnostic tool in these cases.
