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.

질내 비정상적인 신생물과 질출혈 증상을 가진 12살의 암컷 오크셔테리어가 동물병원에 내원하였다. 복부초음파와 방사선 검사를 통하여 자궁의 비정상적인 비후가 인지되었다. 질 신생물 적출 수술과 난소자궁적출 수술이 수행되었다. 질 신생물은 육안적으로 단단하였고 난소와 자궁 주위에 다발성의 낭포가 관찰되었다. 조직학적으로 질 신 생물은 섬유종으로 진단되었고, 난소와 자궁의 신생물은 다발성 낭포를 동반한 선암종으로 진단되었다. 본 증례는 매우 드물게 암컷 개의 생식기에 서로 다른 종류의 종양이 동시에 발생한 다발성 복합 종양 발생례로서 생식기 종양의 이해 증진에 기여할 수 있는 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
