Vaginal fibrosarcomas are rarely described in dogs as compared to those of the skin and subcutis. These tumors have been reported in cows (Musal and Aydogan, 2007; Hamali and Ashrafihelan, 2010). The only detailed study on tumors of dogs and cats in Kenya and probably in Africa by Mugera (1968) recorded 585 tumors, out of which only one was a fibrosarcoma of the esophagus and none of the vagina. In an only 5year survey study of neoplasms of dogs in Zambia by Pandey et al (1983), who reported one case of fibrosarcoma in the skin of 67 tumors of dogs studied, there has never been any case reported on fibrosarcomas of the genital tract in dogs in Zambia and probably in Africa. This report therefore describes a case of undifferentiated vaginal fibrosarcoma in a dog in Zambia.
