Plain-English summary
A 9-year-old Beagle was brought to the vet because he was feeling depressed, had a fever, was breathing rapidly, and was coughing. After running some tests, the vet found a mass in his lung that was diagnosed as a type of cancer called chondrosarcoma. This type of tumor is quite rare in dogs, especially in the lungs. The treatment options for this condition can vary, and it's important for pet owners to discuss the best approach with their veterinarian.

Abstract
Extraosseous chondrosarcomas are uncommon in the dog, and those originating in the lung are rare. This report presents a 9-year-old Beagle dog with a pulmonary mass which caused depression, fever, tachypnea, cough, and laboratory abnormalities. The mass was composed predominantly of chondroid tissue, and was histologically diagnosed as chondrosarcoma.
