Abstract

It describes a case of transitional cell carcinoma in a female of breed pitbull terrier, which comes to consultation because in early January had been urinating with blood twice, In another veterinary center they performed an ultrasound where they showed a mass in the bladder, so they carried out rescue chemotherapies, but did not show improvement, at that time they recommended surgery. The owner adds that the dog did not urinate again with blood, but she urinates more often. The clinical examination was performed in which only increased submandibular lymph nodes were found. In addition, an ultrasound was performed in which a mass was observed at the level of the urinary tract and hematology and blood biochemistry tests were performed in which only a mild lymphocytosis was found. It was decided to perform cystoscopy for biopsy, said tissue was sent to histopathology and its result was transitional cell carcinoma. Due to the location of the carcinoma, the owner was recommended to carry out electrochemotherapy with intravenous and intratumor bleomycin, and use of cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors (Piroxicam). A follow-up was carried out within fifteen days of the procedure and showed a large decrease in tumor size.
