Bir köpekte görülen vajinal fibromiyom olgusu

Öz

5 yaşında dişi, kısırlaştırılmamış Kafkas çoban köpeği 1 aydır devam eden vajinal kanama, halsizlik, iştahsızlık ve vajinal kitle şikâyeti ile kliniğimize getirildi. Anamnezde vajinal kitlenin son 1 ayda hızla büyüdüğü, kitle üzerinde yara ve kanamaların oluştuğu bilgisi alındı. Klinik muayenede kitlenin vajenin ventrolateral yüzeyinden köken aldığı ve bu kitlenin kranialinde de apse benzeri bir yapının olduğu tespit edildi. Mukozal membranların açık pembe renkte, palpe edilebilen lenf yumrularının normal boyutlarda, tüylerin mat, vajinal bölgenin kan ile bulaşık olduğu görüldü. Hemogram ve biyokimyasal test sonuçlarının normal referans aralıklarında olduğu tespit edilen köpeğin cerrahi yolla tedavisine karar verildi. Vajinal kitle ekstirpasyonu sonrasında alınan doku mikrobiyolojik ve histopatolojik olarak incelendi. Fibromiyom teşhis edilen hastadaki daha küçük ve makroskobik bakıda apse olduğu düşünülen kitlenin ise steril içeriğe sahip olduğu ve apse değil yangılı infiltrasyon olduğu belirlendi. Bunun gibi tümöral olguların detaylı klinik muayene ve histopatolojik analiz ile tanısının konulabileceği ve cerrahi müdahale ile de başarıyla sağaltılabileceği sonucuna varıldı.

A case report of vaginal fibromyoma in a bitch

Abstract

A 5-year-old, intact female Caucasian Shepherd dog was brought to our clinic with complaints of ongoing vaginal bleeding, weakness, loss of appetite, and a vaginal mass for a month. According to the anamnesis, the vaginal mass had rapidly increased in size over the last month, and there was ulceration and bleeding on the mass. In the examination, it was determined that the mass originated from the ventrolateral surface of the vagina, and an abscess-like structure was also found cranially to this mass. The mucous membranes were light pink, the palpable lymph nodes were of average size, the furs were matte, and the vaginal area was dirty with blood. The dog’s hemogram and biochemical test results were found to be within normal reference ranges; hence, it was decided to treat the dog surgically. The tissue obtained after vaginal mass excision was examined microbiologically and histopathologically. The mass, initially thought to be an abscess based on its smaller size and macroscopic examination, was determined to have a sterile content and to be an inflammatory infiltration rather than an abscess. It was concluded that detailed clinical examination and histopathological analysis can establish the diagnosis of all tumoral cases like this, and successful treatment can be achieved through surgical intervention.
