Distal urethral neoplasia?

Sonopath Forum

Distal urethral neoplasia?

– 7 year old MN Golden Ret. presented last week for stranguria/dysuria

– UA and culture negative for infection; initial reponse to Metacam and Aventi Clav

– presented 5 days later unable to urinate and profound stranguria;drible of dark borwn urine

– UB (huge), kidneys, prostate and proximal urethra normal; rest of scan normal including medial iliac LN’s

– scan of the distal urethra/penis showed lytic-like lesions, mineralization and soft tissue proliferation of the luminal tissues; power Doppler was not useful in this region

– ultrasound guided traumatic/suction biopsy did not yield cells or tissue; very small catheter was needed to pass through the region

Unfortuinately, the owners opted for humane euthanasia. This looks like a neoplastic lesion to me – osterosarc of the os penis? TCC? other? mineralizing severe distal urethritis?

60 cc syringe with lots of negtative pressure but used a red rubber catheter with extra slots cut at the end. I think using a rigid catheter may have been a better option with sharper edge for sure to be more traumatic

Yes you need to use a rigid

Yes you need to use a rigid polypropylene catheter and cut the edge just like a needle end and lube it heavily to pass into place. Red rubber ceath fenestrated wont get the pieces.
