The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ultrasonographic features of canine lipomas. A group of 94 dogs with a soft tissue mass was considered. All dogs were examined ultrasonographically and cyto/histologic examination was performed. Twenty‐four dogs, whose mass was diagnosed as a lipoma, were selected. Fifty‐five lipomas were present on the 24 dogs. Fifty‐one lipomas were superficial and located subcutaneously. Four lipomas were deep and located in the paratesticular region. Ultrasonographically, lipomas appeared as oval, well‐defined, encapsulated, striated masses.
