%X O dioctophyma renale, conhecido como verme gigante renal 谷 um nemat車ide de ocorr那ncia mundialque parasita os rins, podendo ser encontrado na cavidade peritoneal e em outros 車rg os do c o, e em outras esp谷ciesde animais dom谷sticos e silvestres, inclusive o homem. Foi atendida uma cadela sem ra a definida, apresentandosecre  o vaginal sanguinolenta persistente, neoforma  o vaginal, hiporexia e hemat迆ria. Foram solicitados examescomplementares, e atrav谷s da ultrassonografia abdominal foi detectada imagem sugestiva de dioctofimose, a qualconfirmou-se com a visualiza  o de ovos caracter赤sticos de Dioctophyma renale no sedimento urin芍rio. Ap車s odiagn車stico, foi realizado laparotomia explorat車ria seguido de nefrectomia do rim direito, e ap車s a condutaterap那utica o animal apresentou excelente recupera  o. O presente relato ressalta a importancia dos examescomplementares para o diagn車stico efetivo, o que proporciona recupera  o total do animal parasitado.Dioctophyma renale, known as giant kidney worm, is a nematode of worldwide occurrence thatparasitizes the kidneys and can be found not only in the peritoneal cavity but also in other organs of a dog and inother species of domestic and wild animals, as well as the man. A mongrel bitch presenting with persistent bloodyvaginal discharge, vaginal neoformation, appetite loss, and hematuria was treated. Additional tests were requested,and an image suggestive of dioctophymosis was detected through abdominal ultrasound. It was later confirmed whencharacteristic eggs of Dioctophyma renale were observed in the urinary sediment. After the diagnosis, exploratorylaparotomy was performed followed by nephrectomy of the right kidney. The animal had an excellent recovery aftersuch therapy. This report highlights the importance of additional tests for the effective diagnosis, which leads to totalrecovery of the parasitized animal.
