Cerebral metastasis of transmissible venereal tumor after effective chemotherapy in a dog

Disseminated transmissible venereal tumor in a dog.

Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a well-documented transplantable tumor in dogs, with no breed or sex predilection and a low metastatic rate. In this report, a 2-year-old intact female Mastiff that had numerous, rapidly growing masses throughout the subcutis mainly at the dorsal body plane, the caudal half of the ventral abdomen, and around the vulva was euthanized due to poor prognosis. N...

Transmissible Venereal Tumor: A Review (Transmisibil Venereal Tümör: Derleme)

Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a neoplasm that can be transmitted between female and male dogs via mating by the physical transfer of viable tumor cells. The tumor may spread to different parts of the body through sniffing, licking, scratching or biting affected lesions. It can be also observed in wild carnivores. TVT is mostly located in the posterior wall of the vagina, in the joint of...

Cytomorphological Study of Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor

Introduction Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is classified as a round cell tumor. It always revealed in round to ovoid shaped cell, moderate amount of vacuolated cytoplasm with a large round to ovoid nucleus and prominent nucleoli (2). However, Amaral et al. (2007) reported that CTVT cytomorphology was classified into three types according to the majority of cell type population: pla...

Cytologic subtypes of canine transmissible venereal tumor.

Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a transplantable neoplasm that has stimulated much scientific effort to determine its cell of origin, mode of transmission, and reasons for spontaneous regression as well as similarities with other types of animal and human cancers. In 1994, on the basis of the hypothesis that different cytomorphologic types of CTVT may have different biologic behav...
