Özet: In our study, we aimed to evaluate findings of osteosarcoma detected in a Kangal breed dog for the histopathological and radiographic aspects. The material of the study consisted of a male, 8 years old Kangal breed dog with a weight of 50 kg. There was no information about the history of the patient who was brought to the Surgical Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Kafkas University with complaints of swelling in the left anterior extremity, lameness and respiratory weakness. Clinical examination revealed that the general condition of the patient was poor and there was a hard and painful swelling at the carpal joint level. Euthanasia was performed due to old age, poor condition and suspicious prognosis. Then, systemic necropsy was performed. After routine tissue follow-up procedures, 5 μm thick sections were taken from paraffin blocks for Hematoxylin Eosin staining. Sections were examined under light microscope to determine the histopathologic changes. Based on radiographic and histopathologic findings of the tumors in the left anterior extremity and metastatic foci in the lung, osteosarcoma was diagnosed.
