Abstract
A 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier was presented with a bleeding mass over the left scapula. A cutaneous hemangiosarcoma with a localized co nsumptive coagulopathy was diagnosed on the basis of thrombocytopenia, prolonged activated partial thromboplastin and prothrombin times, hyp ofibrinogenemia, absence of fibrin(ogen) degradation products, and thr ombi associated exclusively with the neoplasm. Comparison of localized and disseminated intravascular coagulation is detailed.
