Abstract :A 2.5 years old male English Cocker Spaniel dog was admitted to our clinic with symptoms of left axis circling, increased vocalization and vestibular ataxia. The patient\\\'s medical history revealed that the left hind limb was amputated due to a malignant tumor and the tumor type was confirmed as hemangiosarcoma by pathology report. As a result of physical, neurological and radiographic examinations, intracranial tumor metastasis of primary origin in the left hind limb was suspected. No abnormal findings were found in the cerebrospinal fluid obtained from the patient. Advanced imaging techniques (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) and biopsy procedures required for treatment planning were refused by the owner and the patient died 4 days later. Macroscopic necropsy findings revealed mass foci of varying sizes in the brain, spleen, liver, diaphragm and lung. Histopathologic examination revealed hemangiosarcoma metastasis of 0.2.x0.1 cm in the brain. The post-mortem findings were consistent with the clinical findings. Brain metastasis of hemangiosarcoma in a cocker spaniel dog shows that our case is rare.
