ABSTRACT
A 7-year-old Maltese was presented to a veterinary clinic for a history of anorexia, soft feces, and anemia. During abdominal sonography and computed tomography imaging, splenic mass was suspected. Laparotomy revealed the bloody ascites, and the enlarged spleen containing a large spherical mass. Microscopically, the splenic parenchyma was replaced by neoplastic cells with cytoplasmic vacuolation and abundant myxoid matrix. Cellular vacuolation and myxoid matrix were positive to Oil-Red-O and Alcian-blue stains. The neoplastic cells were positive to vimentin on immunohistochemistry. The case was diagnosed as myxoid liposarcoma. Based on a poor prognosis, the dog was euthanized three weeks after splenectomy.
