Plain-English summary
A 3-year-old Weimaraner was diagnosed with ovarian cancer that had spread within her abdomen. The treatment plan included surgery to remove her ovaries and chemotherapy delivered both directly into her abdomen and through her chest. Although she initially responded to treatment, she developed complications related to the cancer and ultimately had to be euthanized nearly three years later due to worsening symptoms.

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.
