The present study aims to report a case of metastatic transmissible venereal tumor (TVT)
diagnosed in a 7-year-old male dog, pinscher, at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of
Campina Grande. The animal had lymphadenomegaly of the mandibular, axillary, cervical
and inguinal regions, as well as ulceration of the right cervical and left inguinal lymph nodes.
Genital changes were not observed. The cytological examination was positive for TVT. The
association of clinical signs, history and positive cytology allowed the diagnosis of metastatic
VTT to be established. The treatment was chemotherapy with vincristine sulfate at the dose of
0.025mg / kg with interval of 7 days and, after five applications, the animal presented an
apparent cure.
