A seven-year-old 26 kg male dog presenting preputial serosanguineous discharge and a cauliflower-like mass on the penile bulb region was attended at a veterinary school hospital. The mass was hemorrhagic and friable. Cytopathological examination disclosed a plasmacytoid transmissible venereal tumor. Antineoplastic chemotherapy was initiated, associating piroxicam (0.3 mm/kg at 48 hour intervals) and vincristine sulfate (0.75 mg/m2 each seven days). Since no tumor regression was observed after eight chemotherapy cycles, doxorubicin was implemented as a new therapeutic protocol (30 mg/m2 each 21 days). No improvement was observed. Thus, three cycles of cryosurgery were attempted, using a Cry-Ac equipment with closed-circuit tip. Total remission of the tumor was observed 21 days post-surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
