Angiographic Study and Therapeutic Embolization of Soft-Tissue Fibrosarcoma in a Dog: Case Report and Literature Review
In a review of the literature, angiographic findings of soft-tissue sarcoma in the dog of this report were similar to those in humans, suggesting a potential role for angiography in the differential diagnosis of suspect soft-tissue fibrosarcomas and for guiding FNA or surgical biopsy.
