Abstract
Multiple osteochondromatosis in a female Boxer
A young female Boxer was presented for a problem of lameness affecting the right hind leg. The lameness was associated with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. Following the radiographic examination, lesions compatible with a diagnosis of osteochondromatosis were found.
There was no pain associated with this condition and it was an accidental finding. Macroscopic and microscopic finds are discussed and there are a few observations about the pathogeny, treatment and prognosis.
