ABSTRACT

An adult dog was referred for evaluation of right sided unilateral epistaxis and growth at the base of the penis and prenasal area since one month. Upon clinical examination, a multilobular tumorous mass was located on the base of the penile bulb, causing sanguinous discharge. Nasal transmissible venereal tumour (TVT) in dogs is a rare manifestation of a tumour that typically develops from genital or oral lesions. The samples for cytological diagnostics were taken from nasal and preputial growth by FNAB and smears were prepared andstained with Wright’s Giemsa for diagnostic purpose. The findings strongly suggested the presence of high levels of cellularity, tumour cells that were large, rounded cells with round nuclei, coarse and reticulated chromatin, abundant and lightly basophilic cytoplasm, and multiple punctate cytoplasmic vacuoles, all of which were conclusive of the cytological diagnosis of CTVT. The preputial lump was surgically removed, and its histology was evaluated. Cytology procured with histopathology recommended for TVT.
