Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old male Toy Poodle was diagnosed with a rare tumor called liposarcoma on the spermatic cord after showing signs of a mass in the scrotal area. The veterinarian used ultrasound and CT scans to confirm the diagnosis before performing surgery to remove the tumor. After the surgery, the tumor was confirmed through further examination of the tissue. The dog was treated successfully, and the importance of thorough imaging and testing before surgery was emphasized in this case.
