Hepatic angiosarcomas in dogs: an excessive frequency as compared with man

J Natl Cancer Inst. 1976 Aug;57(2):451-4. doi: 10.1093/jnci/57.2.451.

Abstract

A series of 18 angiosarcomas of the liver in dogs reported by veterinary schools in the United States and Canada suggested that certain breeds may have an excess of the tumor and that there is no marked predilection by sex. Histologic characteristics of hepatic angiosarcomas were similar in man and dog, but the relative frequency in dogs was about 25-100 times that of man.
