A Giant Non-Functioning Granulosa Cell Tumor in a Dog

Abstract

Backround/Aim: In this present report, a giant nun-functional ovarian granulosa cell tumour GCT was described with its clinical, laboratory and histopathological findings in a dog. Material and Method: A 5-year-old Golden Retriever female dog was referred to our clinic for a progressive abdominal distension, lethargia and dysuria. A large abdominal mass and ascites were visualised in transabdominal ultrasonography. Results and Conclusion: Exploratory laparatomy revealed an ovarian mass, which was removed by ovariohysterectomy. Histopathology confirmed GCT.
