Haemangioma

  • benign tumour of dogs
  • may grow to considerable size
- the size of the lesion giving rise to clinical signs is compounded by haemorrhage from and into the tumour
- thus, a large mass of apple size may be found protruding from the spleen and adherent to the omentum
  • on section, it is largely blood clot
  • responds well to surgery
- therefore it must be distinguished from haemangiosarcoma
