Abstract
Tumors of bones and joints are not infrequent in dogs but are rare in other domestic animals. In the dog, most bone tumors are malignant. Osteosarcomas are the most frequently encountered tumors, especially in giant breeds and boxers. The following categories of bone tumors are described: bone forming, cartilage forming, giant cell, marrow, vascular, miscellaneous, metastatic, unclassified and tumor-like lesions. The tumors of joints and related structures are classified as synovial sarcomas, fibroxanthomas and malignant giant cell tumor of soft tissues.
