Abstract
in English, French

A 6-year-old Newfoundland dog was presented with left forelimb lameness, which was diagnosed as osteosarcoma and treated with an endoprosthetic limb-spare surgery and cisplatin chemotherapy.

Ostéosarcome chez un chien Terre-Neuve âgé de 6 ans : chirurgie permettant de préserver le membre et chimiothérapie au cisplatine. Un chien Terre-Neuve âgé de 6 ans a été présenté pour boiterie du membre antérieur gauche. Un ostéosarcome a été diagnostiqué et traité par l’implantation d’une prothèse endomédullaire visant à épargner le membre et une chimiothérapie au cisplatine.
