A 9.5-year-old labrador presented with signs of progressive C1–C5 myelopathy. Magnetic
resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed a broad-based, jagged and
partially ill-defined intradural mass lesion at the level of C3–C4 cervical vertebra.
Decompressive spinal surgery was performed and the removed mass was sent for
histopathological examination that identified an intradural extraosseous osteosarcoma.
This very rare canine spinal tumour appears to arise predominantly in the cervical
spine and occurs with no predisposing factors. It should be considered as a differential
diagnosis for spinal tumours.
