A six years old male local dog was presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC), Guwahati, Assam, with the history of anorexia and presence of a big mass over the nostril and forehead. Clinically, the swelling was extending upto the base of the eyes in both the directions with discharge of blood tinged fluid from a small orifice. On fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), tumour cells were round to ovoid in shape with prominent nucleoli and punctate vacuoles in the cytoplasm. In histopathological examination, hypercellularity and division of cells into different pockets by irregular fibrous connective tissue stroma were well demonstrated. The case was diagnosed as extragenital transmissible venereal granuloma based on cytological and histopathological findings. | Cytological and histopathological findings of nasal transmissible venereal tumour in a dog
