Abstract
in English, French

A 1.5-year-old dog was evaluated for abnormal mentation, collapse, and weight loss. Radiographs and ultrasonographs revealed soft tissue masses in the mid abdomen. Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspirates provided a diagnosis of malignant epithelial or round cell neoplasia. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings on the tumors were consistent with a primitive neuroblastoma.

Résumé — Neuroblastome chez un jeune chien. Un jeune chien de 18 mois a été examiné pour des problèmes d’inconscience, de collapsus et de perte de poids. Plusieurs masses furent observées dans l’abdomen lors des examens échographique et radiographique. Un diagnostic cytologique de tumeur maligne de type épithélial ou à cellules rondes fut posé à la suite de biopsies réalisées à l’aiguille fine échoguidée. L’histopathologie et l’immunohistochimie confirmèrent un diagnostic de neuroblastome primitif.
