Abstract:
A 11-year-old intact Labrador female dog weighing 34 kg was presented with a history of progressive hard swelling in the vaginal passage and perineum region from the past one month with intermittent purulent vaginal discharge and straining to void faeces. Vaginal examination revealed smooth, submucosal, intraluminal, firm, and hard masses in the dorsal and ventral floors of the vagina. Surgical excision of the vaginal masses was performed under general anaesthesia after urethral catheterization. Postoperative management with antibiotics and supportive medications resulted in an uneventful recovery for the bitch. Histopathology of the excised mass revealed it to be a case of multiple vaginal hard fibromas.
