EXTRADURAL SPINAL ANGIOLIPOMA ASSOCIATED WITH BONE LYSIS IN A DOG

An extradural spinal tumor was diagnosed in a 12-year-old Labrador ret riever that was presented with a one-week history of paraparesis. Myel ography indicated a deviation of the spinal cord to the right side at the level of the second lumbar (L-2) vertebra. The difference in lengt h measuring the left and right sides of the L-2 vertebra suggested a f racture of the vertebral body. Severe bone remodeling and an extradura l mass were seen on computed tomography (CT). Clinical, radiographical , and histological findings are described and considered homologous to extradural angiolipomas described in the human literature.
