Abstract

A 3 years and 2 months old, intact female Golden Retriever dog presented with swelling on the distal end of the left forearm. The dog had no signs of pain or lameness. A radiographic examination indicated that the lesion was mineralized. The lesion was cytologically diagnosed as an osteochondromatous tumor by fine needle aspiration. Surgical resection was subsequently performed. However, the lesion was located deep between the radius and ulna, and was resected incompletely. The resected tissue was histolopathologically diagnosed as osteochondroma. For sixteen months, no recurrence has been identified around the resected site.
