Tavi is an 11 year old Border Terrier that came in for an exam. The history was “mild dribbling of urine”
Clinical workup revealed the following x-rays and ultrasound.
In the end Tavi was taken to surgery and had this mass removed. The source of the mass was the bladder wall. The final histopath diagnosis was Leiomyosarcoma.
In all my 44 years of practice I have NEVER seen a mass of this size coming from the bladder wall externally. Most of the Leiomysarcomas I have seen originate from the wall of the bowel.

Cool case! Although leiomyoma / leiomyosarcoma are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the UB, they are relatively rare in general compared to other UB neoplasms I believe.
