Abstract: An 8-year old female Siberian husky was presented with a history of vaginal discharge for the past one month. On clinical examination, there was a mild elevation in temperature while other vital parameters were within normal range. The vaginal mucous membrane was pink and moist, along with sero-purulent discharge. Per-vaginal examination revealed a palpable mass which was extending towards the cranial part of the vagina. Estrus stage and TVT were ruled out by Vaginal Cytological Examination (VEC). On ultrasonographic and radiographic examination, no uterine involvement was noticed. Furthermore, Computed Tomography (CT) reveals a heterogeneous, contrast-enhanced mass invading the vaginal passage and extending cranially from the neck of the bladder to the vulval lips caudally, suggestive of a vaginal tumour. Under gaseous anaesthesia, episiotomy along with ovario-hysterectomy were performed as per standard surgical procedures. Histopathological examination of the excised mass confirmed vaginal fibroma. After 10 days of the post-operative period, the dog recovered uneventfully.
