Plain-English summary
An 11-year-old neutered male golden retriever had a lump on his right back leg that was surgically removed. After examining the mass, the vet found that it contained a type of cancer called hemangiosarcoma, which was located within a fatty tumor known as an intermuscular lipoma. This case is unique as it hasn't been reported before in dogs. The dog is now recovering after the surgery, but it's important for pet owners to monitor any unusual lumps or bumps on their pets and consult a veterinarian.

Abstract
A subcutaneous mass on the right pelvic limb of an 11-year-old neutered male golden retriever dog was surgically excised. A hemangiosarcoma included within an intermuscular lipoma was diagnosed upon histopathological examination. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report of this nature in a dog.
