AI Article Synopsis
- A 7-year-old male Golden Retriever was admitted with symptoms like vomiting and depression, leading to the discovery of a caecal mass after various medical examinations.
- Intraoperative short-wave infrared imaging was utilized to enhance the accuracy of the tumour resection during surgery, with indocyanine green injected 24 hours prior.
- The surgery was successful with a diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), and there were no neoplastic cells found in the surgical margin, marking this as a pioneering case in veterinary surgery.
Article Abstract
A 7-year-old castrated male Golden Retriever weighing 36.8 kg presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital with vomiting, anorexia and depression. After blood tests, radiographic, ultrasound and computed tomography examinations, a 7.85 × 5.90 × 8.75 cm mass was identified in the caecum. To visualise the tumour margin and improve the accuracy of tumour resection, intraoperative short-wave infrared imaging using indocyanine green was performed during surgery. An indocyanine green solution was injected intravenously as a bolus of 5 mg/kg 24 h before surgery. Tumour resection was performed with a 0.5 cm margin from the fluorescent-marked tissues. Histopathological examination revealed a diagnosis of a gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) and the absence of neoplastic cells in the surgical margin, indicating a successful surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a GIST resection in a dog using intraoperative short-wave infrared imaging.
