Plain-English summary
A 9-year-old mixed-breed dog was brought in because she had been regurgitating frequently and losing weight. After some tests, including an endoscopy, the vet found a mass in her esophagus. Unfortunately, the diagnosis was esophageal/gastric adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer. Due to her condition, the decision was made to euthanize her to prevent further suffering.

Abstract
A nine-year-old, intact female, mixed-breed dog was presented with a history of chronic regurgitation and weight loss. Endoscopy and contrast radiography confirmed the presence of a distal esophageal mass. The dog was euthanized, and histopathological diagnosis of the mass was an esophageal/gastric adenocarcinoma.
