Abstract :A 4-year old, primiparous, female Anatolian Shepherd dog was presented for evaluation of type II vaginal prolapse with alopecia of the left perineal skin. Hematological analyses demonstrated leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia. Estradiol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(E2); and progesterone insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P4); levels were 156 pg/mL and 2.3 ng/mL, respectively. The vaginal smear was predominantly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(at least 80%); made up of anuclear superficial cells. An abdominal ultrasonography revealed a heterogeneous multicystic mass with anechoic areas adjacent to the caudal pole of the left kidney. An ovariohysterectomy was performed. Ten days after the surgery, the prolapsed vagina was completely regressed. A histopathological examination of the ovarian mass demonstrated that it was a granulosa cell tumor.
