Abstract
Vaginal tumors are the second most common types of tumor in canine female reproductive tract, and most of these tumor are diagnosed as leiomyoma. These tumors are categorized by intraluminal or extraluminal form, and tend to develop as hormone dependent manner. In this report, we describe two cases of extra-luminal form of vaginal tumor. Both tumors were located in abdominal cavity, and adhered to entire surrounding internal organs, including urinary bladder, rectum, and particularly a part of ureter. Surgical excision was performed via laparotomy without damage to the surrounding internal organs and ovariohysterectomy, as well. A diagnosis of vaginal leiomyoma was established based on histopathology.
