Abstract
An 18-month-old, entire male German shepherd dog was presented with signs i ndicative of a caudal abdominal space-occupying mass. A needle-core biopsy of this mass failed to establish a definitive diagnosis, but identified a p rominent round-cell component. The dog's condition worsened and euthanasia was performed on humane grounds. Histopathology of the mass revealed a mese nchymal chondrosarcoma.
