Title: Emphysematous prostatitis and carcinoma in a dog. Author: Rohleder JJ, Jones JC. Journal: J Am Anim Hosp Assoc; 2002; 38(5):478-81. PubMed ID: 12220033. Abstract: A 10-year-old, male beagle was presented for lethargy, anorexia, and straining to urinate. A mass was palpated in the caudal abdomen in the area of the bladder. Abdominal radiography revealed a gas-filled mass in the caudoventral abdominal quadrant. Subsequent positive-contrast cystography revealed that the mass was caudal to the bladder. Abdominal exploratory celiotomy resulted in the drainage of a prostatic abscess containing gas. The histopathological diagnosis of the prostate was a poorly differentiated tubular carcinoma with necrosis. To the authors' knowledge, this article is the first report of an emphysematous prostatitis in a dog.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
