Abstract
A 3-year-old Weimaraner dog was presented with bilateral papillary ovarian carcinoma and abdominal carcinomatosis. Treatment included ovariectomy, intraperitoneal cisplatin, and systemic carboplatin. Pleural carcinomatosis 473 days following surgery was treated with intrapleural cisplatin through indwelling pleural access ports. Euthanasia occurred 1154 days following surgery due to malignant pleural effusion without peritoneal effusion.
