Abstract

Fibromas are usually benign, hard, white, spherical and are mesenchymal neoplasm of fibroblasts with abundant collagenous stroma. This case report illustrates a female dog with vaginal fibroma condition. A 6-year-old intact nulliparous, crossbreed female dog was presented with the history of vulvar bleeding and tenesmus. The dog had regular oestrus cycles, but was incompetent in conceiving. Vaginal examination revealed a spongy mass with a smooth surface on palpation. The tissue from the vaginal mass (4mm thickness) was collected in 10 per cent formalin for histopathological examination, which confirmed it was a vaginal fibroma consisting fibroblasts and fibrocytes with wavy and interwoven collagen fibres.
