Abstract

Ovarian tumours are uncommon in dogs, accounting for 0.5 to 1.2 per cent of all canine tumours. Granulosa cell tumours (GCT) are sex cord stromal tumours, which accounts for 50 per cent of ovarian tumours and occur in elderly dogs with a median age of 12 years (Klein, 1996). This paper reports a case of unilateral GCT of ovary along with pyometra in a four year old German Shepherd dog.
