Other Titles

Abstract

An 8-year-old female Nigerian Dwarf goat presented to Nemo Farm Animal Emergency Service for evaluation of stranguria. Three days prior to presentation, she was posturing to urinate and vocalizing, but only producing a few drops of brown, mucoid urine. That evening, she was lying down and a small mass was seen protruding from her vulva. Two days later, a large mass was expelled from the goat's vulva, and the next day she was brought to Cornell for further evaluation. Physical examination revealed an erythematous vulva and mildly distended abdomen. A focal caudal abdominal ultrasound revealed a large, cavitated mass potentially associated with the urogenital tract. Vaginal exam showed discoloration of the vaginal mucosa and what appeared to be necrotic tissue protruding from the cervix. The cervix had a diffusely nodular appearance. Transrectal ultrasonography revealed abnormal contours to the uterus and more of the large mass. The bladder could not be located on either transabdominal or transrectal ultrasound. Emergency point of care blood tests revealed normal serum potassium and creatinine levels. The problem list at this point included stranguria, a mass associated with part of the urogenital tract, an abnormal cervix, and discharge from the cervix. Due to the goats poor prognosis euthanasia was elected and a necropsy was performed. The large mass the goat passed the previous day was also submitted for histopathology. Necropsy revealed several large masses associated with the cervix and body of the uterus, which were confirmed to be leiomyosarcoma.
