Abstract
TOLEDO, Gabriela N et al. Mesenteric metastasis of granulosa cell tumor in a bitch: a case report. Rev Colom Cienc Pecua [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.3, pp.231-239. Epub Oct 10, 2022. ISSN 0120-0690. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.rccp.v34n3a07.
Anamnesis:
A 5-year-old mixed breed entire bitch was presented with bloody vaginal discharge and abdominal distension.
Clinical and laboratory findings:
Physical examination and abdominal ultrasonography suggested the presence of a left ovarian tumor. At histopathological examination it was diagnosed as granulosa cell tumor.
Treatment approach:
An exploratory laparotomy was performed followed by ovariohysterectomy to remove the intra-abdominal mass.
Conclusion:
The clinical, ultrasonographic and histologic signs in this case support other literature reports. Ultrasonography, in combination with histopathologic analysis is a fundamental tool for detection of ovarian tumors, especially tumors of the granulosa cells.
