Summary
A dog with chronic haematuria was diagnosed with a renal haemangioma. Surgical removal resolved the bleeding, and a subsequent skin mass was identified as a cutaneous cavernous haemangioma.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Medicine
- Oncology
- Canine Urology
Background:
- Chronic haematuria in dogs can indicate serious underlying conditions.
- Renal masses require accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Observation:
- A three-and-a-half-year-old spayed female crossbred dog presented with persistent haematuria.
- Diagnostic imaging and procedures including ultrasonography, urography, and cystoscopy were performed.
Findings:
- A renal haemangioma was identified as the cause of the haematuria.
- Nephrectomy successfully resolved the haematuria.
- A subcutaneous mass diagnosed as a cutaneous cavernous haemangioma developed post-nephrectomy.
Implications:
- This case highlights renal haemangioma as a cause of haematuria in dogs.
- It also demonstrates the potential for secondary cutaneous haemangioma development.
- Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing renal masses and associated complications.
