Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old neutered female mixed-breed Terrier was diagnosed with gastric cancer after showing typical signs of the disease. The tumor was located in an unusual part of the stomach, which made the case unique. The dog underwent surgery to remove the tumor, and she survived for seven months after the procedure. This case highlights the importance of recognizing symptoms and the potential for surgical treatment in dogs with gastric cancer.

Abstract
A case of a gastric adenocarcinoma in a ten year old neutered female Terrier of mixed breeding is presented. History, signs and pathology were typical of gastric carcinoma. However, the tumor was located in the distal one‐third of the body of the stomach along the greater curvature rather than the more commonly involved pyloric antrum. The tumor was treated by surgical excision with a 7 month survival time. The surgical technique utilized is described and a discussion of canine gastric carcinoma is given.
