ABSTRACT

This report describes a case of transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) with metastasis to spleen in areas previously affected with a hemangioma in an adult mongrel stray bitch. In addition, the animal had seborrheic dermatitis associated with demodicosis, suggesting a deficient immune response. In Mexico, TVT is a common entity; however, metastases to internal organs are extremely rare. This is the first report of metastasis of TVT to an internal organ with a previous established tumour.
