“…Accounting for 1% of all osteosarcoma cases, exOSA can occur in a variety of organs [ 6 ]. Cases of canine exOSA involving the gastrointestinal tract, subcutaneous tissue, spleen, urinary tract, liver, mediastinum, skin, muscle, eyes, central nervous system, omentum, pericardium, and thyroid gland have been reported [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Additionally, exOSA tends to affect older dogs more frequently than skeletal osteosarcoma, although no predispositions regarding dog size have been reported [ 6 , 7 ].…”

The objective of the present case series was to investigate the various computed tomography findings of six dogs diagnosed with extraskeletal osteosarcoma (exOSA) at several locations. Among the tumors evaluated, four were subcutaneous, one was mammary, and one involved the intestinal tract. Intralesional mineralization was observed in all six dogs. Most of the tumors were moderately calcified, exhibited amorphous mineralization, and were heterogeneous on post-contrast imaging. Three of the tumors were peripherally enhanced, and regional lymphadenopathy was identified in two of the dogs, which was presumed to be metastatic. No lymph node calcification was reported. Although the presence of intralesional mineralization is not a pathognomonic finding, it was consistently identified in the present case series. Therefore, exOSA should be considered in the differential diagnosis when mineralization occurs in a mass unrelated to osseous structures.

A 6-year-old castrated male mixed dog presented with a rapidly growing mass at the right chest wall two weeks after initial detection. A mesenchymal origin of the malignancy was suspected based on fine-needle aspiration. Computed tomography (CT) revealed that the mass originated from the right chest wall and protruded externally (6.74 × 5.51 × 4.13 cm3) and internally (1.82 × 1.69 × 1.50 cm3). The patient revisited the hospital because of breathing difficulties. Radiography confirmed pleural effusion, and ultrasonography-guided thoracocentesis was performed. The effusion was hemorrhagic, and microscopic evaluation showed no malignant cells. Before surgery, CT without anesthesia was performed to evaluate the status of the patient. The 7–10th ribs were en bloc resected at a 3-cm margin dorsally and ventrally, and two ribs cranially and caudally from the mass. After recovering the collapsed right middle lobe of the lung due to compression from the internal mass with positive-pressure ventilation, a 3D-printed bone model contoured titanium mesh was tied to each covering rib and surrounding muscles using 2-0 blue nylon and closed routinely. The thoracic cavity was successfully reconstructed, and no flail chest was observed. The patient was histo-pathologically diagnosed with extraskeletal osteosarcoma. A CT scan performed 8 months after surgery showed no evident recurrence, metastasis, or implant failure. This is the first case report of chest wall reconstruction using titanium mesh in a dog. The use of a titanium mesh allows for the reconstruction of extensive chest wall defects, regardless of location, without major postoperative complications.
