Asymptomatic unilateral ovarian leiomioma in a German shepherd bitch / A. Pecile, D. Groppetti, V. Grieco, G. Barella, M. Moioli, S. Faverzani. - In: MACEDONIAN VETERINARY REVIEW. - ISSN 1409-7621. - 40:1(2017 Jan), pp. 97-101.
Abstract:
This report shows for the first time clinical imaging (ultrasound and computed tomography), histological and immunohistochemical findings of an ovarian leiomyoma, coincidentally diagnosed in an asymptomatic unmated nulliparous ten year-old German shepherd bitch concurrently suffering from multiple mammary tumors. A thorough examination allowed the differentiation of ovarian leiomyoma from other spindle cell tumors. An accurate description of the diagnostic procedures useful in the managing of ovarian leiomyoma could provide valuable information to veterinary practitioners. Indeed, despite its rarity and nonspecific symptoms, ovarian leiomyoma may also affect the dog with an unknown potential risk.
