ABSTRACT

A six year old bitch had ulcerated, friable, easily bleeding masses similar to cauli flower in submucosa in the dorsum-posterior region of the vagina at the junction with the vestibule. The lesion was submitted to cytopathological examination by imprint and vaginal TVT was diagnosed. After twenty days the animal returned to the Medical Clinic with lesions on the skin and in the eyeball, again the lesions were submitted to cytopathological examination by fine needle aspiration (FNA) and scraping of the conjunctiva by Swab, where the definitive diagnosis was TVT, the microscopic characteristic of the three lesions were similar. The treatment was performed with vincristine sulfate; from the second application there was tumor regression and progressive clinical improvement.
