Retroperitoneal hemangiosarcoma (RPHSA) is a rare tumor in dogs with a poorly understood prognosis after surgery. The objectives of this study were to investigate the clinical features and prognosis of canine RPHSA that had undergone surgical resection. In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, we reviewed the medical records of dogs that had undergone surgical resection for retroperitoneal tumors and received a histopathologic diagnosis of HSA between 2005 and 2021. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 77.5 days and 168 days, respectively. In the present study, canine RPHSA had an aggressive biological behavior similar to visceral HSA. Further studies in larger canine populations are needed to evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy.
