Emphysematous Prostatitis and Carcinoma in a Dog

From the Metropolitan Animal Hospital (Rohleder), 1053 South Cleveland-Massillon Road, Akron, Ohio 44321 and the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences (Jones), Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, Mailcode 0442, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061.

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.
