Presentation
Presents with recurrent urinary tract infections. Found as a stray and castrated 4 years previously.
Patient Data
The liver is mildly enlarged and extends beyond the costal arch. The gastrointestinal tract and spleen are normal. The kidneys are normal in size and shape. There is a soft tissue opacity, oval mass with stippled mineralization cranial to the pelvic inlet. The bladder is partially visible cranial to the mass, indicating its origin is the prostate gland.
Prostatomegaly with mineralization is likely due to neoplasia. Part of the prostatic enlargement may be explained by late age at neutering. Hepatomegaly (metabolic, inflammatory, infiltrative, toxic).
Case Discussion
Prostatic carcinoma with marked necrosis and suppurative, septic inflammation. No organisms were cultured.
