Abstract

Hepatoid gland adenocarcinoma are malignant tumors seen in the perianal region in dogs, mostly affecting sexually intact male dogs between 7 and 14 years of age. The surgical removal of such a tumour was performed in a male dog of eight-year age under general anaesthesia. The histopathological findings revealed cells with moderate degree of anisocytosis and anisokaryosis and multifocal infiltration of inflammatory cells predominantly neutrophils. Based on histo-pathological observation the mass was diagnosed as hepatoid gland adenocarcinoma. Complete removal of the tumour mass and appropriate wound care lead to an uneventful recovery.
