Plain-English summary
A 9-year-old female mixed-breed dog was brought to the vet after experiencing vomiting for ten weeks. X-rays and a barium study revealed a mass in her stomach, leading to a diagnosis of a gastric tumor. Unfortunately, further examination after she passed away confirmed it was a gastric lymphosarcoma, a rare type of stomach cancer in dogs. This case highlights the importance of investigating persistent vomiting, as it can be a sign of serious underlying issues like tumors.

Abstract
A 9‐year‐old female spayed mixed‐breed dog was presented with a ten‐week history of vomiting. A survey abdominal radiograph showed a soft tissue mass on the lesser curvature of the stomach and an adjacent thickened greater curvature. A barium contrast study confirmed the presence of this mass. The radiographic diagnosis was gastric tumor. Radiographic signs of gastric neoplasia include soft tissue masses or thickening of the stomach wall, delayed gastric emptying, immobility of portions of the stomach wall, and residual stomach‐wall staining by barium. Necropsy revealed a gastric lymphosarcoma that had infiltrated the entire circumference of the pyloric antrum. The most common gastric malignancy in the dog is adenocarcinoma. Gastric lymphosarcoma is considered rare.
