Abstract:
Vaginal neoplasms are the most common reproductive disorders in dogs that are rarely associated with the ovarian neoplasms. The present report explicates a rare case of cystic adenocarcinoma associated with vaginal fibroma in a bitch. A nine year old nulliparous intact Spitz bitch was presented with a history of periodic discharge from vulva and hard mass protruding from vaginal canal since 1 month with regular micturition and defecation behaviors. General clinical examination revealed normal physiological values and presence of vaginal hyperplastic tissue hanging from the vulva. Per vaginal examination revealed the stalk of the mass attached to roof of the vagina. Hence, surgical resection of the vaginal mass combined with ovariohysterectomy was opted for the correction of the condition. Under general anesthesia, after urethral catheterization the protruding mass was surgically removed after applying multiple tourniquets at the base of the vaginal mass. Exploratory mid ventral celiotomy revealed bilateral ovarian masses with multiple pleomorphic follicles and ovariohysterectomy was done as per standard procedure. Histopathology confirmed cystic adenocarcinoma of the ovarian tissue and fibroma of the vaginal tissue. Animal was administered with fluids, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory as a post-operative management for 5 days. Animal recovered uneventfully and remained clinically normal without evidence of metastasis till report.
