Abstract: Vaginal neoplasia was found to be the second most frequently diagnosed canine vaginal disorder. The present report explicates a rare case of follicular cyst associated with vaginal fibroma in bitches. A total of 6 mixed breeds of intact geriatric dogs ailing from caudal reproductive tract (CdRT) neoplasia were included in the study. The dogs were reported to have a ‘pop out’ sign i.e., vaginal mass protruding out of vulva. CdRT neoplasms may be associated with follicular cyst and endometrial hyperplasia, hence decided to ascertain the ovarian involvement by diagnostic approaches like serum estrogen level, calcium levels, ultrasonography, exploratory laparotomy and histopathology. Peritoneal (Abdominal seeding) and thoracic metastases were ruled out by radiography and peritoneal lavage respectively. Upon general clinical examination, normal physiological values were noted, along with the presence of hyperplastic tissue hanging from the vulva in the vagina. On vaginal examination, the mass's stalk that connected to the vaginal roof was spotted. For the purpose of treating the condition, surgical excision of the vaginal mass when combined with ovariohysterectomy was chosen. The projecting mass was surgically removed under general anaesthesia following urethral catheterization. Bilateral ovary with numerous pleomorphic follicles were discovered during an exploratory mid ventral celiotomy, and an ovariohysterectomy was performed in accordance with usual protocol. Histopathology validated the ovarian tissue's follicular cyst and the vaginal tissue's fibroma. Bitches underwent fluids and antibiotics for seven days as part of their post-operative care. Bitches made a full recovery and maintained a clinically normal state up till the report.
