Abstract
A 3-year-old female spayed dog was presented with a history of sanguineous vaginal discharge of 2 month duration. The dog was spayed 1.5 years before presentation. Clinical examination revealed a large, solid, ovoid mass in the caudal abdomen, recognized by diagnostic imaging as an enlargement at the top of the uterine stump. Additionally, high serum progesterone concentration was measured, confirming the presence of functional ovarian tissue in dioestrus. With a suspicion for a related uterine stump pyometra or less likely, for other enlargements, a cοeliotomy was performed. A mass at the apex of the uterine body and a right side ovarian remnant were found. Both structures and the remaining uterine stump were excised. The uterine remnant mass was histologically diagnosed as uterine adenocarcinoma, herein detected for the first time at the uterine stump in the bitch. Unsuccessful, incomplete ovariohysterectomy may permit even neoplastic transformation of uterine stump tissues.
