Abstract

A male dog aged 9 years was presented to the Department of Veterinary Gynecology and Obstetrics, Veterinary College Gadag, with the history of a hard mass on the right paramedian side of the penis, measuring about 5cm which was noticed by the owner for the past three months. Surgical treatment was done under general anesthesia. Surgical excision of the tumor was done under pre- anesthetic drug Inj. Atropine @0.04mg/ kg b.wt., and induction of anaesthesia by Inj. Xylazine @1mg/kg b.wt. and Inj. Ketamine 10mg/kg b.wt. I/M. A mixture of ketamine and diazepam at 1:1 ratio was used for maintenance intravenously. Complete excision of the tumor mass was performed and appropriate wound care led to an uneventful recovery. The histopathological findings revealed cells with a moderate degree of anisocytosis and multifocal infiltration of inflammatory cells, predominantly neutrophils and the mass was identified as a hepatoid gland adenocarcinoma. Post-operative treatment with antibiotics tab. cefotaxim and tab. Poochrex® aided wound healing.
