Two dogs were referred with the clinical signs of depression and constipation, respectively. One dog withdepression had hypoglycemia on biochemistry. On survey abdominal radiographs, a soft tissue density round masswith calcified spots was identified cranial to the urinary bladder. On ultrasonographs, a solitary oval heterogeneouscomplex-echoic mass with well-defined margin was found. On surgery, the mass was pedunculated and originated fromthe colonic wall. The resected mass was confirmed as colonic leiomyoma. The other dog with constipation had normalCBC and biochemistry values. On survey abdominal radiographs, there was a soft tissue density round mass dorsalto the descending colon and rectum. The descending colon was displaced ventrally and narrowed by the mass. Onultrasonographs, a well-defined round heteroechoic mass compressed the colon. The mass was also pedunculated andoriginated from the colonic wall on surgery and confirmed as colonic leiomyoma. Two dogs recovered without anyclinical signs after surgery and showed permanent resolution of the clinical signs, respectively.
