Plain-English summary
A dog with a large soft tissue mass over 15 cm in the back leg was treated with a special procedure using glue to block the blood supply to the mass. This method, called transarterial glue embolization, helped reduce the size of the mass and showed that it could be a good option for similar cases. The dog experienced clinical improvement after the treatment, indicating that the procedure was successful.

Abstract
This article reports the use of transarterial glue embolization in the treatment of a soft-tissue mass in the hind limb of a dog that was referred for a > 15-cm diameter soft tissue mass in the caudal thigh. Clinical improvement showed that the percutaneous therapeutic cyanoacrylate glue embolization procedure was technically feasible and useful.
