title: Congenital subcutaneous arteriovenous malformation in a puppy: diagnosis with CT angiography.
abstract: A 4-month-old, 20 kg, intact male, cane corso dog was presented with a slowly growing subcutaneous lesion on the left caudoventral abdominal wall. Ultrasound and computed tomography angiography revealed a subcutaneous plexus of aberrant tortuous vessels directly connected with the superficial branch of the deep circumflex iliac artery and vein. The arteriovenous malformation (AVM) was successfully surgically removed. Early recognition and surgical removal of AVM can have excellent cosmetic results and prevents potential cardiovascular complications.
