Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare type of urinary bladder carcinoma in dogs. A 10-year-old spayed bitch was presented with pollakiuria. Ultrasonography revealed right obstructive hydronephrosis and proximal hydroureter. Urinary bladder wall thickening and an irregular mucosal surface were presented. Partial cystectomy and ureteroneocystostomy of the right ureter were performed for urinary bladder mass removal in the area close to the right ureteral opening.    The histopathological characteristics of urinary bladder SCC were confirmed by negative immunohistochemical staining of uroplakin III, cytokeratin 7, and cytokeratin 20. Two months after surgery, multiple nodules in all hepatic lobules were presented from ultrasonography. The distant metastasis was suspected. This report demonstrates the diagnostic approach and management of urinary bladder SCC, a rare type of canine urinary bladder cancer.
