  • Title: Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Penis with Pulmonary Metastasis and Paraneoplastic Hypertrophic Osteopathy in a Dog.
    Author: Jenkins V, Henrique de Mello Souza C, de Lorimier LP, de Toledo-Piza E.
    Journal: J Am Anim Hosp Assoc; 2017; 53(5):277-280. PubMed ID: 28792794.
    Abstract:
    Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis was diagnosed by incisional biopsy of a penile mass in a 12 yr old intact male beagle dog presenting with hemorrhagic discharge from the prepuce. Penile amputation, orchiectomy with scrotal ablation, and scrotal urethrostomy were performed. Hypertrophic osteopathy secondary to pulmonary metastatic disease occurred 10 mo after the surgery. Palliative treatment with piroxicam was administered and led to complete resolution of the clinical signs of the pain. Sixteen months following surgery, the dog presented with significant dyspnea and anorexia and was euthanized due to poor prognosis. This case report describes a rare penile tumor, squamous cell carcinoma. Consequent paraneoplastic hypertrophic osteopathy and its palliative treatment are also reviewed.
