Resumen
Hemangiosarcoma (HSA) is an aggressive and malignant tumor that occurs in endothelial cells and invades blood vessels. It typically occurs in canines aged 6 to 13 years, with certain breeds, including German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and Boxers, are predisposed. It can occur in any part of the animal’s body and can be found in the heart, liver, skin, and bones, although its most common location is in the spleen. Its importance lies in the fact that few canines can be diagnosed before the tumor ruptures and causes severe abdominal bleeding, leading to anemia, weakness, and collapse. This study provides an updated review of various methods for diagnosis and treatment, placing emphasis on ontogeny, genetics, mutations, signaling pathways, and significant markers like CD133, CD117, CD45, and CD34. The goal is to facilitate a timely diagnosis through molecular biology and effective treatment, thereby enhancing the survival time of the canine with HSA. Likewise, the aim is to broaden the outlook for professionals at the time of early detection of HSA, to reduce the damage caused to the canine, which is extremely traumatic and painful during this pathology.
