title: Intracranial anaplastic astrocytoma in a 19-week-old boxer dog.
abstract: A 19-week-old, entire female boxer dog was presented for evaluation of chronic, progressive multi-focal neurological signs. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested a large intra-axial mass in the brainstem. Euthanasia was performed and an anaplastic astrocytoma was found at post-mortem examination. This case reports an unusual naturally occurring brain tumour in a young dog.
