On clinical examination, cauliflower like growth on the penis, swelling of the preputial region, multiple cutaneous nodular growths all over the body and enlargement of palpable lymph nodes were noticed. Fine needle aspirates from the nodules and lymph nodes and impressions from the penis revealed features of neoplastic cells. Chemotherapy was started with vincristine sulphate @ 0.025 mg/kg b.wt intravenously at weekly interval for 4 weeks along with supportive therapy. Animal recovered uneventfully following chemotherapy.
