Hello,
Fritz is a 6 years old M/N Schnautzer that presented with straining while urinating. Rectal palpation identified a mass in the pelvic entry cranial at the site of prostate.
I did an FOCUS US and to me it looks like the pelvic urethra “goes” into the mass. Bladder seems to be clean. Couldn’t identify any enlarged pelic LN. I strongly suspect Urethral Transitional Carcinoma. Was able to see fluid moving inside the “mass” and I assume this is most likelly urine. FNA in clinic revealed multiple Transitional Cells with anysocytosis, anysokariosis, multiple nucleoli and no neutrophyls, bacteria.
My question : can this still be a prostate mass? And if so would the treatment be any different ?
Thank you

1. The prostate looks
1. The prostate looks enlarged to me with a small amount of calcification. I would be concerned about neoplasia in that prostate.
2. The mass in the urethra could be a TCC but could it be an extension from the prostate- if there is a carcinoma there.
I am curious what the experts say
Prostatic carcinoma til
Prostatic carcinoma til proven otherwise fna should tell the story. Big prostate in MN is always suspect and especially when mass like. These often spread to urethra or urethra to rpostate but given the size of the prostate likely thats where it started. See similar cases here:

Thank you EL and Randy.
Randy I think There is only one mass there and it does look like prostate. I don t see any macroscopic evidence of spreading into urethra or bladder but I know that is always a possibility.

Thanks- I thought you were
Thanks- I thought you were referring to the thickening of the dorsal urethra wall. My mistake.
No worries Randy. I wanted to
No worries Randy. I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss something obvious.
