An 18‐month‐old, entire male German shepherd dog was presented with signs indicative of a caudal abdominal space‐occupying mass. A needle‐core biopsy of this mass failed to establish a definitive diagnosis, but identified a prominent round‐cell component. The dog's condition worsened and euthanasia was performed on humane grounds. Histopathology of the mass revealed a mesenchymal chondrosarcoma.
