Abstract
A 12-year-old Yorkshire Terrier bitch evaluated with vaginal prolapsed and vaginal bleeding. Abdominal sonography and radiography demonstrated abnormal enlargement of uterus in abdominal cavity. The dog had been submitted to the vaginal mass resection and the ovariohysterectomy. In gross examination, the vaginal mass was firm and multiple cysts were detected in both ovaries and uterine horns. In microscopic examination, vaginal fibroma, uteroovarian cystadenocarcinoma were revealed. To our knowledge, this report is a very rare case of multiple complex neoplasms in the genital organs of dog. These findings may contribute to study and enhance the knowledge on genital tumors.
