Abstract:
A 5 years old Non-descriptive intact male dog weighing 18.5 kg was presented with the history of multiple nodular lesions distributed irregularly all over the body. The lesions were not ulcerated and cauliflower or nodular like in sub-cutaneous, measuring up to 2 to 5 cm in diameter. Cytologic examination of the cutaneous mass revealed large round cells, discrete round to spherical nucleus with chromatin granules and multiple vacuoles in the cytoplasm confirmed as transmissible venereal tumor. Mitotic figures were also observed. Vincristine sulfate was administered weekly @ 0.025 mg/kg, BW, intravenously for four weeks and the animal had an uneventful recovery.
