Abstract
A 10-year-old spayed female Pekinese dog was referred to veterinary medical teaching hospital of Chonbuk National University with signs of dysuria, abdominal distension, and hematuria. Abdominal radiography revealed a large oval soft tissue mass in cranial abdomen, which was a fluid filled cyst containing a round mass by ultrasonography. Exploratory laparatomy found a 4 cm cyst containing reddish brown fluid and a 1.5 cm small round mass attached to the wall. Cytological impression of the imprint smears of the resected mass were highly malignant adenocarcinoma, which was confirmed by histopathology of the mass and the cyst. After the surgery the patient recovered uneventfully and discharged. The tumor recurred about one year after surgery, and second surgery performed at the owner's request. However the tumor recurred in two months with metastatic disease in the lung and the dog survived three more months after surgery.
