A 9‐year‐old spayed female Scottish terrier presented with an 8‐day history of progressive paraparesis. Neurological examination suggested a painful T3‐L3 myelopathy. Multifocal uniform contrast‐enhancing masses involving the vertebral bodies, pedicles, laminae, and spinous processes of two vertebrae and compressing the spinal cord were present on MRI. Fluoroscopic‐guided fine needle aspiration of one of the vertebral lesions revealed a predominantly lymphoblastic population of cells compatible with a diagnosis of lymphoma. To the authors’ knowledge, this represents the first published case of canine lymphoma with vertebral involvement, characterized with MRI.  相似文献
