with a history of lethargy, generalized pain, and vomiting. Initial medical intervention by the primary care veterinarian included corticosteroids, cephalexin (500 mg per os [PO] q 12 hours), and terbinafine (560 mg PO q 24 hours). The dog was current on vaccinations. At 9 months of age, the dog was diagnosed with a foreign body lodged ventral to the right mandible. Wood and debris were surgically removed but a second surgery after 5 days was required to manage an abscess. Microbial culture yielded Fusobacterium spp. with antimicrobial susceptibility to penicillin. Additional treatment included pain management and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 20 mg/kg PO q 12 hours for 2 weeks.

A 12-year-old female spayed, Silken Windhound dog was presented with a 3-month history of lethargy and cervical and lumbosacral spinal pain. No significant abnormalities were noted on CBC or serum biochemical assays. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine demonstrated a soft tissue mass within the ventral and right epidural space at the level of the L7 vertebra. During surgery, a pale brown mass was identified within the epidural fat. Cytologic and histopathologic examinations demonstrated that the mass was composed of adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements, consistent with a myelolipoma. The lumbosacral spinal pain resolved after surgery. Epidural myelolipomas are rarely reported in the human and veterinary literature.
