Splenic cavernous hemangioma in a dog

Splenic haemangioma represents a pathology that, although benign, through the impressive dimensions it reaches and through the side effects it imprints on the organs in the abdominal cavity can present a real risk to the vital prognosis of the animal. The preferred diagnostic modality in these cases is excisional biopsy. This paper describes the examination of a case to obtain a definite diagnosis, the surgical intervention and the postoperative evolution.
