The surgical treatment of vaginal leiomyoma in a seven year old Blue Heeler bitch is described. A smooth, 12 cm diameter submucosal, intraluminal, firm mass was found on vaginal examination. It appeared to arise from the left ventral vaginal wall, cranial to the clitoris but caudal to the cervix. There was no history of urinary problems and the dog was normal in all other aspects. The treatment was surgical excision of the mass via an episiotomy. Histological examination indicated a leiomyoma. The differential diagnoses, possible etiologies and control or prevention of the condition by ovariohysterectomy are also discussed.
本文描述了一只7岁蓝色赫勒犬阴道平滑肌瘤的手术治疗情况。阴道检查发现一个直径12厘米、光滑、位于黏膜下、管腔内的坚实肿块。它似乎起源于左腹侧阴道壁，位于阴蒂前方但子宫颈后方。该犬无泌尿系统问题病史，其他方面均正常。治疗方法是通过会阴切开术对肿块进行手术切除。组织学检查显示为平滑肌瘤。文中还讨论了鉴别诊断、可能的病因以及通过卵巢子宫切除术控制或预防该病的方法。
