Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a malignant round cell neoplasm that primarily affects
the genital region of dogs. Despite being sexually transmitted, transmission can occur
through contact with mucous membranes and cutaneous tissue. Although less routine, TVT
has been described in several extragenital regions, such as the nasal plane, oral cavity,
eyeball, eyelid, and anus. Although metastases are infrequent, they can occur in the skin,

Abstract
Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a malignant round cell neoplasm that primarily affects the genital region of dogs. Despite being sexually transmitted, transmission can occur through contact with mucous membranes and cutaneous tissue. Although less routine, TVT has been described in several extragenital regions, such as the nasal plane, oral cavity, eyeball, eyelid, and anus. Although metastases are infrequent, they can occur in the skin, inguinal lymph nodes, liver, kidneys, spleen, intestine, heart, brain, lungs, and other organs. The clinical signs of TVT are usually related to serosanguineous secretion, intense odor, deformity, ulceration, and possibly areas of necrosis. In cases of metastases, clinical signs will depend on the affected organ. The treatment of choice for TVT is chemotherapy with vincristine. The present study aimed to report the case of a 2-year-old mixed-breed canine with intra-abdominal nodules detected by ultrasound examination, which were later diagnosed as a TVT by histopathology and immunohistochemistry.
