Olgunun materyalini vulvasından sarkan bir kitle şikayeti ilekliniğimize getirilen melez erişkin dişi bir köpek oluşturdu. Köpeğin anamnezbilgilerinde daha önce kısırlaştırılmış olduğu ve son iki aydır vulvasındansarkan bir kitlenin olduğu öğrenildi. Fiziksel muayenede köpeğin geneldurumunun iyi olduğu belirlendi. Vajinal muayenede; vulvadan dışarı sarkan,saplı, pembemsi renkli sert bir kitle tespit edildi. Kitlenin köpeğinvajinasının dorsal duvarından köken aldığı belirlendi. Kitleye tümöral bir yapıtanısı konularak operasyonla uzaklaştırılmasına karar verildi. Makroskobikolarak 5.6x3.2x1.7 cm boyutlarında, 43 gr ağırlığında, pembemsi beyaz renkte,elastik kıvamlı kitle gözlendi. Mikroskobik olarak hiperkromatik çekirdekli,birbirine çaprazlar yapan, anaplastik şekilli, iğsi ve yuvarlak şekillihücreler arasında çok çekirdekli dev hücreleri, nekroz alanları ve yer yermitozlar dikkati çekti. Makroskobik ve mikroskobik özelliklerine göre tümöreleyomiyosarkom tanısı kondu. Sonuç olarak; vajinal leyomiyosarkomun köpeklerdenadir görülmesi ve köpeğin kısırlaştırılmış olması nedeniyle olgununmakroskobik ve histopatolojik bulgularının literatür verilere katkısağlayabileceği düşünüldü.</p></abstract>

                            <p>In this case report it was aimed to determinevaginal leiomyosarcoma in a neutered bitch. The material of this case was anadult mixed breed neutered bitch brought to our clinic complaint with a masshanging from the vulva. In the history, it was learnt that bitch had beenneutered before, and there had been a mass hanging from the vulva since lasttwo months. The condition of the bitch was determined to be good in thephysical examination. In the vaginal examination, stalked, pinkish a hard masshanging from the vulva was detected. It was determined that the mass was originatedfrom dorsal vaginal wall of the bitch. It was decided to remove with operationby diagnosing as a tumoral structure. Macroscopically 5.6x3.2x1.7 cm indiameter, 43 gr in weight, pinky-white in colour, elastic in consistence masswas observed. Microscopically hyperchoromatic nucleus, crossed each other,anaplastic, round-shaped spindle cells include multinucleated giant cells,necrosis and mitotic figures were noted in places. According to macroscopic andmicroscopic features, the tumor was diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma. Consequently,because both the vaginal leiomyosarcoma rarely seen in the dog and occurencedin sterilized dog, macroscopic and histopathologic findings of the case wereconsidered to be able to contribute to the literature.</p></trans-abstract>
