Bladder lesion


  • 12 year old outdoor FN Cocker Spaniel with haematuria and pollakiuria, improved since started antibiotics
  • Do you think this bladder thickening of the ventral wall is inflammatory or TCC? it seems quite focal with loss of layering and mineralised?
  • I will rescan in 4 weeks after abs, nsaids
  • Also very nodular liver, do you think this is significant/sinister?

  1. The ventral ub wall loses

    The ventral ub wall loses layers and appears transmural but resectable with ventral wall resection. 50/50 tcc vs granulomatous lesion but needs to come out as its focal and transmural. Other potential is wall lesion from cystocentesis trauma…intramural hematoma as this is the site for cysto. Side note the urethra looks dilated suggestive for poor tone.

  2. Thanks EL. No cysto done but

    Thanks EL. No cysto done but I will keep posted with follow up.

    What do you make of the liver?

  3. Nodular hepatopathy – nodular

    Nodular hepatopathy – nodular regeneration, granuomatous disease, neoplasia. FNA cytology may help but often need wedge/Tru-Cut biopsy for a final diagnosis.
