            9y MC Domestic Shorthair with recent‐onset progressive pelvic limb paresis. MR images show a T1 isointense, T2 hyperintense,
            heterogeneously enhancing, ovoid intrinsic spinal cord mass at the level of the fifth lumbar vertebra (a–e: arrow). The gross speci­
            men (f) shows that the mass displaces neural parenchyma peripherally, resulting in the focal increase in cord diameter seen on MR
            images (d). Microscopic examination confirmed a diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme (WHO grade IV astrocytoma).
