Abstract：
A 5-year-old intact female Shih Tzu was presented with acute onset of hind leg paralysis. The neurologic examination revealed severe T3-L3 myelopathy. The differential diagnoses included degenerative, anomalous, traumatic, inflammatory, vascular, metabolic, and neoplastic changes. The results of the paraclinical examinations and diagnostic imaging narrowed the list of differential diagnoses and, along with the patient\'s deteriorating condition, led to the owner\'s decision to euthanise the dog. The histologic findings of the spinal cord specimens indicated a tumour of the blood vessels formed by the proliferation of endothelial cells, which may present as either capillary or cavernous structures. In this case, the tumour was a capillary-type haemangiosarcoma. The primary site of proliferation could not be determined in this case because no mass formation was noted while performing the necropsy.
摘要：
一名5岁完整的女性ShihTzu出现后腿麻痹的急性发作。神经系统检查显示严重的T3-L3脊髓病。鉴别诊断包括退行性，异常，创伤性,炎症，血管,新陈代谢，和肿瘤的变化。临床旁检查和诊断成像的结果缩小了鉴别诊断的范围，随着病人病情的恶化，导致主人决定对狗实施安乐死。脊髓标本的组织学发现表明由内皮细胞增殖形成的血管肿瘤，可能表现为毛细血管或海绵状结构。在这种情况下,肿瘤为毛细血管型血管肉瘤.在这种情况下，无法确定增殖的主要部位，因为在进行尸检时没有发现肿块形成。
