Abstract

Benign primary bone neoplasms, such as osteochondroma, have few reports in dogs and cats. Usually affects young animals, as these have the active endochondral ossification center, clinical signs may manifest due to compression and deformation of adjacent structures such as lameness, pain, paralysis and progressive weakness. In this work, we report a case of osteochondromatosys in a 9-year-old Rottweile female dog with a history of limb claudication of the right pelvic limb and hyporexia. The diagnosis was based on macroscopic and histopathological exams, as a form of treatment chosen by the coxofemoral disarticulation right.
