Brain Metastasis In A Case Of Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor After A Supposed Successful Treatment With Vincristine Sulfate

A ten year old mongrel bitch was diagnosed with a primary vulvar transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) causing subcutaneous, mammary and splenic metastasis and it was successfully treated with vincristine. Four months later the animal presented neurological disturbances, brain metastases were suspected...
