Abstract:This report presents a case of metastasising transmissible venereal tumour (TVT) with lesions of the penis, lip, spleen and pituitary. The clinical picture is outlined and the associated diagnostic radiographic procedures used to reach a final diagnosis of a space–occupying lesion in the region of the pituitary are described. A definitive diagnosis of a metastasizing TVT was reached by histopathological examination and it is concluded that the pituitary and spleen metastases are examples of the systemic dissemination of the original penile tumour whilst the lip lesion probably arose by direct contact.
