Abstract
A four-year-old Persian was presented for evaluation of a nonweight-bearing, left forelimb lameness. Radioulnar and pancarpal osteolysis with minimal periosteal reaction were seen on radiographs of the antebrachium. Cytological examinations of fine-needle aspirates and impression smears were suggestive of sarcoma. After forequarter amputation, histopathological examination provided a diagnosis of fibrosarcoma with axillary lymph-node metastasis.
