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. |
