  • Title: Presumptive subcutaneous surgical transplantation of a urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma in a dog.
    Author: Anderson WI, Dunham BM, King JM, Scott DW.
    Journal: Cornell Vet; 1989 Jul; 79(3):263-6. PubMed ID: 2752759.
    Abstract:
    A urinary bladder mass in a 12-year-old spayed female West Highland White Terrier was diagnosed after exploratory surgery and biopsy as a transitional cell carcinoma. Four months later the dog presented with an ulcerated plaque-like cutaneous lesion at the previous surgical incision site; concurrent inguinal lymphadenopathy and recurrence of the urinary bladder mass were identified. Transitional cell carcinoma was diagnosed at all 3 sites. Although a definitive relationship cannot be established between the initial surgery for urinary bladder mass and the resultant subcutaneous lesion, surgical implantation should be considered as a source for the neoplastic cells.
