Abstract
Primary renal tumors in dogs are rare; among these, renal carcinomas are the most frequent. Renal tumors may be classified according to their origin as renal tubular, nephroblastic, non-epithelial and transitional cell carcinomas. The latter can originate either in the ureter or in the renal pélvis. This work reports the case of a non-neutered nine-year-old female mongrel assisted by the Surgery Sector of a Veterinary Hospital. Ultrasound examination of the abdomen disclosed a mass in the right mesogastric region. The ovary and right kidney could not be visualized. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, followed by nephrectomy and hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma of renal pélvis.
