Eosinophilic Polypoid Cystitis in a Cocker Spaniel Dog

초록

An 8-year-old castrated male Cocker Spaniel (weighing 12.0 kg) was referred to the Kangwon National University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, with primary complaints of persistent hematuria. Diagnostic studies revealed neutrophilia, hematuria, proteinuria, abnormal irregular shaped hyperechoic lesion in urinary bladder. The lesion was demarcated from the intact region of bladder and consisted of eosinophils, macrophages, lymphocyte and fibrocytes. Based on the histopathological exam, the case was diagnosed as eosinophilic polypoid cystitis and treated by surgical removal and short-term medical therapy (meloxicam and amitriptyline). The therapy was successful and recurrence has not been occurred.
