Abstract

This paper aims to report the clinical case of an no defined race dog rescued from the street by a guardian from Cruz das Almas - Ba, treated at the University Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia University Hospital of Veterinary Medicine - with confirmed clinical suspicion and treated for Transmissible Venereal Tumor. in the perianal region. During the course of the treatment it was noticed the appearance of an external ear lesion, in which when performing cytological examination the presence of Mycobacterium was diagnosed. Mycobacteriosis is an uncommon infection in the clinical routine of dogs and cats, with few reports in the literature. Therefore, it was considered appropriate to report the infection since it is related to the chemotherapy treatment performed on the patient, as it is justified by the immunosuppression effect caused by the antineoplastic drug.
