Plain-English summary
A 3-year-old female basset hound was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer called malignant mesenchymoma, which had spread unusually through blood vessels. This type of cancer is not commonly seen in dogs, and this case was particularly unique because of its aggressive behavior. Unfortunately, the specifics of the treatment and outcome were not detailed, but it's important for pet owners to be aware of such rare cancers and discuss any unusual symptoms with their veterinarian.

Abstract
A case of a malignant mesenchymoma with an unusual, vasoinvasive, metastatic behavior in a three-year-old, intact female basset hound is presented. Malignant mesenchymomas are rare neoplasms in humans and in dogs. No previous reports of a malignant mesenchymoma with vasoinvasive metastasis in the dog were found in the literature. The constituent neoplasms are discussed in relation to reports in the human and veterinary literature, and a potential etiology for this unique presentation is hypothesized.
