Abstract
A 12-year-old, intact female Yorkshire terrier was presented with progressive abdominal distention. On radiographic and ultrasonographic evaluation, a large mass was detected in right upper abdomen and it had several discrete anechoic follicles and large cysts. The mass was removed by complete ovariohysterectomy and the resected specimen was histopathologically examined. Based on the gross and histopathologic findings, the mass was definitely diagnosed as malignant granulosa cell tumor (GCT). Until now, the dog has been successfully managed more than a year without complications.
