Plain-English summary
A dog with a grade II ilial chondrosarcoma (a type of bone cancer) underwent a surgical procedure called cranial internal hemipelvectomy, which removed part of the pelvis while sparing the limb. After surgery, the dog received radiation therapy to help prevent cancer from returning. The treatment was well tolerated, and the dog lived for over three years after the surgery, passing away from an unrelated health issue. This case shows that this surgical approach can be effective for dogs with this type of cancer.

Abstract
Abstract Cranial internal hemipelvectomy can be successful for excision of ilial CSA with minimal complications. Iliectomy with adjuvant radiation therapy was well tolerated in a dog with grade II ilial CSA. The dog survived 1,271 days postoperatively and supposedly succumbed to a disease process unrelated to the CSA.
