Plain-English summary
Three dogs were diagnosed with a type of cancer called haemangiosarcoma in the shoulder area. Unfortunately, two of the dogs were euthanized shortly after their diagnosis because the cancer had spread to other parts of their bodies. The third dog underwent surgery to remove the cancer and initially recovered well. However, seven months later, this dog returned to the vet with a neck issue that was thought to be related to the cancer spreading again.

Abstract
Three cases of haemanglosarcoma in the scapula of the dog are reported. Two cases were euthanased soon after diagnosis, due to the presence of metastases, while the third was treated surgically and recovered well. However, seven months after surgery, this dog was re-presented with a cervical spinal problem which was presumed to be a metastatic lesion.
