Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old spayed female Bichon Frise was found to have nodules in her abdomen during a routine ultrasound. Further tests revealed that these nodules were hemangiosarcoma, a type of cancer. The veterinarians used a laparoscopic-assisted technique to remove the affected tissue, which helped both in diagnosing and treating the condition. This approach allowed for a less invasive surgery, and the dog was able to recover from the procedure.

Abstract
An 8-year-old, spayed female, bichon frisé dog had incidental nodules within its falciform ligament identified on routine abdominal ultrasonography. A laparoscopic-assisted technique provided both a diagnostic and a therapeutic treatment option. A histopathological diagnosis of hemangiosarcoma was made. This is the second case reporting hemangiosarcoma of the falciform fat.
