J Vet Diagn Invest. 2003 Mar;15(2):174-8. doi: 10.1177/104063870301500214.

Abstract

A malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor with divergent osteogenic, myxomatous, and myoblastic differentiations is described in a 10.5-year-old male Labrador Retriever dog. The tumor involved the sixth and seventh cervical spinal cord segments and nerves. The diagnosis was based on the results of histopathology, electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry.
