Case Report

Persistent Vulvar Hemorrhage Secondary to Vaginal Hemangioma in Dogs

Jonathan M. Miller, DVM, MS, Nicolaas E. Lambrechts, BVSc, MMedVet (Surgery), Diplomate ECVS, Robert A. Martin, DVM, Diplomate ACVS, D. P. Sponenberg, DVM, PhD and Molly Subasic, DVM

From the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, Phase II, Duckpond Drive, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061.

Two young female dogs were presented with a chronic history of persistent vulvar hemorrhage. Vaginoscopy was ultimately used to locate bleeding vaginal masses near the urethral papilla. In both cases, episiotomy was performed to resect the mass, and hemangioma was diagnosed histologically. These tumors caused persistent vaginal bleeding; they were difficult to diagnose without vaginoscopy and lavage; and surgical excision was curative in at least one case.
