Computed tomography imaging characteristics of canine nasal chondrosarcoma.

Objectives To describe the CT appearance of canine nasal chondrosarcoma and compare calcification patterns with those described in humans. Materials and Methods CT examinations of dogs with biopsy-confirmed nasal chondrosarcoma were retrospectively reviewed and evaluated, including description of calcification patterns. Results Major findings are consistent with the previously described CT appearance of canine nasal tumours. Additionally, calcification patterns described as features of human nasal chondrosarcomas were also identified. Clinical Significance Findings may help prioritise differential lists of destructive nasal masses seen on CT in dogs.
