Abstract
A seven month-old female spitz dog was presented to Veterinary College and Research Institute Hospital for ovariohysterectomy in order to avoid breeding. During surgery, mild uterine enlargement with serosal congestion was noticed. Exploration of lumen of the uterine horns revealed blackish brown discolouration and endometrial thickening. Histopathology of the uterine horn tissue showed presence of spindle-shaped muscle fibers with centrally located nuclei running parallel in all directions and had typical appearance of uterine leiomyoma.
