Plain-English summary
An 11-year-old female Poodle was diagnosed with lymphangiosarcoma, a type of cancer affecting the lymphatic vessels, located in the skin on her right chest. Fortunately, there were no signs that the cancer had spread to other parts of her body. The tumor was examined under a microscope, revealing specific characteristics of the cancer cells. Treatment options for lymphangiosarcoma can vary, so it's important for pet owners to discuss the best approach with their veterinarian.

Abstract
Lymphangiosarcoma was seen in the subcutis of right chest in a 11-year-old female Poodle. No metastasis was observed clinically. Tumor cells were vimentin positive and formed irregular space or slit without erythrocytes in the tumor tissue. Lymphocytic foci and edema were seen in the stroma. Only a few tumor cells had factor VIII-related antigen. Electronmicroscopically, tumor cells did not accompany with basement membrane and intercellular junctional complex.
