Case Report: Feline spinous process giant-cell osteosarcoma
Björn P. Meij
Two adult domestic shorthair cats were evaluated for progressive neurologic deficits caused by spinal cord compression secondary to vertebral osteosarcoma, giant-cell subtype. Feline giant cell osteosarcoma represents a rare tumor type, particularly uncommon in the vertebral column. The cats showed progressive paraparesis or hemiparesis, with neuroanatomic localization to C1–C5 and T3–L3 respectively. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a single, well-demarcated osseous mass arising from the spi
