Abstract
An eight-year-old, male castrated bullmastiff presented to the Kansas State University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital with left hind-limb paralysis. A mass was identified in the left paralumbar soft tissue adjacent to the fourth (L4) to sixth (L6) lumbar vertebrae by magnetic resonance imaging. The iliopsoas muscle contained the mass which was identified as a hemangiosarcoma on histopathological examination. Hemangiosarcoma is rarely reported as a primary tumor arising from muscle vascular endothelium.
