Abstract

El tumor venéreo transmisible (TVT) es una neoplasia de transmisión sexual que afecta principalmente a los genitales externos, aunque se ha informado de una presentación extragenital. Su prevalencia es variable, y los países en desarrollo presentan las tasas más altas debido a las grandes poblaciones de perros callejeros y al escaso control de la reproducción. En el presente estudio se determinó la prevalencia de TVT en la población que acude al Hospital Veterinario de la Universidad San Carlos de Guatemala, siendo esta la única universidad en el país que brinda servicio veterinario al público. Analizamos 1.125 registros médicos de pacientes que asistieron a una clínica ambulatoria en 2016. La prevalencia de TVT fue 1.8X100 / Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a sexually transmitted neoplasm that affects the external genitalia mainly although extragenital presentation has been reported. Its prevalence is variable, with developing countries presenting the highest rates due to large populations of stray dogs and poor breeding control. In the present study the prevalence of TVT was determined in the population that attends the Veterinary Hospital of the San Carlos of Guatemala University, being this the only university in the country that provides veterinary service to the public. We analyzed 1,125 medical records of patients who attended an outpatient clinic in 2016. The prevalence of TVT was 1.8X100
