Hemangioma is a benign, noninvasive and non-metastatic neoplasm originating from endothelial cells of the blood vessels. The involvement of the urinary vesicle with neoplasias occurs in less than 0.5% of dogs. The main clinical signs are hematuria, dysuria, pollakiuria, incontinence and urinary obstruction. The diagnosis is based on imaging tests and is confirmed by histopathological examination. The treatment of choice is surgical resection with safety margins. This paper reports the case of a twelve-year-old Poodle with a history of abdominal pain, which was attended at the Florianópolis Veterinary Hospital. Abdominal ultrasound showed the presence of free fluid. During exploratory laparotomy, the urinary vesicle was observed to be ruptured, presenting a thickened wall and small areas of necrosis. A sample was sent for histopathological analysis and the diagnosis was of benign vascular neoplasia compatible with hemangioma.
Fractures are interruptions in bone continuity of frequent occurrence in small animal clinics. Causes vary widely and diagnosis is usually obtained during clinical examination and by means of radiography, which provide fundamental information regarding the type and complexity of the fracture. Long bones fractures are generally treated by open reduction and internal fixation; secondary methods may be associated in case of instability. The present study reports the case of a 5-month-old male mongrel dog with bilateral fracture of the femoral diaphysis caused by a car accident. The animal was attended at a private veterinary clinic in the city of Criciúma, SC, where it underwent surgery. Femoral osteosynthesis was obtained by means of multiple intramedullary pins associated with cerclage as a stabilization method, which was needed due to the characteristics of the fracture. The technique proved efficient to stabilize the fracture, without postoperative complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
