Plain-English summary
A 15-year-old female miniature poodle was brought to the vet because of a large mass in her abdomen. After a CT scan, the vet found two big masses in her uterus. To treat this, the vet performed a surgery called ovariohysterectomy, which involves removing the uterus and ovaries. The examination of the masses revealed one very large lipoleiomyoma (a type of tumor) and a smaller leiomyoma. This surgery helped the dog by removing the tumors, which were causing the abdominal issue.

Abstract
A 15-year-old, intact, female miniature poodle was presented for further evaluation of a large abdominal mass. Computed tomography was conducted to determine the origin of the mass and 2 large uterine masses were discovered. Ovariohysterectomy was performed and histopathological evaluation revealed a massive uterine lipoleiomyoma (27 × 17 × 15 cm), the largest recorded in the veterinary literature, and a smaller leiomyoma (7 × 5 × 4 cm).
