Fracture associated sarcoma in the cat.
A nine-year-old neutered male cat developed an osteosarcoma 15 months after the surgical repair of the proximal femur using an intramedullary pin at the fracture site. The repair had been effective with good healing of the fracture and restoration of normal activity.
