Abstract
A 7-years-old female Golden Retriever dog was presented to the clinic with a multilobular mass protruding from the vulva. On clinical examination, the mass was observed on the circumference of the vaginal canal. The owner reported not noticing a pro-estrous bleeding for a year. On vaginal cytology, parabasal cells, intermediate cells, neutrophil infiltration and clumps of bacteria were determined. Mild anemia, severe leukocytosis and high MPV value were detected. As a treatment, vaginal mass was totally extirpated by partial vaginectomy and subsequently ovariohysterectomy were performed to avoid the re-occurrence of the vaginal tumor. Both vaginal mass and ovariohysterectomy materials were histopatologically examined. Benign tumors were diagnosed which were vaginal leiomyoma and bilateral ovarian luteoma. It was concluded that histopathological analysis of every surgically removed tissue should be performed in order not to miss a tumorous condition even if it does not show any symptoms.
