P‐72 A case of perianal gland adenoma concurrent with benign prostatic hyperplasia in a mixed‐breed dog

Abstract

A 13‐year‐old intact male mixed‐breed dog was evaluated because of multiple 0.5–1.5 cm diameter, circular intradermal nodules around the anus. There was a history of intermittent haematuria, perianal pain and colorectal obstruction with tenesmus. On physical examination, these lesions were ulcerated, and hemorrhagic and keratinaceous material was extruded with local pressure. The prostate gland was nonpainful and symmetrically enlarged. Abdominal radiographs revealed prostatomegaly and retrograde urethrocystography showed reflux of contrast media into the prostate gland. Ultrasonography showed a diffuse, relatively symmetrical enlarged prostate. The patient was treated with cyclosporine for 5 weeks. Until recently, the clinical signs of this patient were dramatically improved. This case demonstrates that perianal gland adenoma and benign prostate gland hyperplasia can be successfully managed with the administration of cyclosporine. Funding: Self‐funded.
