ABSTRACT
The canine transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a sexually transmissible neoplasm found in the external genitalia of dogs. It is clinically characterized by the growth of friable and hemorrhagic tissue in the genital tract, with serosanguineous and fetid vaginal discharge. The diagnosis is based on anamnesis and on clinical signs, however, cyto or histopathological evaluation are also necessary. Several treatments have been used for the management of the tumor, which may include surgical removal, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, biotherapy and chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical-surgical aspect of a female dog with transmissible venereal tumor located in the external genitalia, with an atypical metastasis in the uterus, and clinical urinary signs as dysuria and hematuria. The surgical excision of the tumor with cauterization of the remaining tissue presented good results and few complications. KEYWORDS Transmissible venereal tumor. TVT. Uterus. Bitch.
