The patient presented with hematuria, dysesthesia, and pain on abdominal palpation. Abdominal ultrasound, hematology, urinalysis, and biochemical evaluation tests were subsequently conducted. Laboratory tests revealed cloudy urine with bacteria, and countless red blood cells. On ultrasound examination, the prostate was severely enlarged, with heterogeneous and reduced parenchyma, surrounding a large cavity filled with anechoic material with moderate cellularity. The urinary bladder was markedly distended and had a round, hypoechogenic structure in the lumen. The patient was hospitalized and had significant, irreversible worsening of the clinical symptoms and died. Subsequently, necropsy of the patient was performed and a histopathological diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia associated with the presence of a prostatic hemorrhagic cyst, prostatitis, and chronic cystitis with an intraluminal blood clot was made. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the occurrence of a hemorrhagic cyst in a canine prostate, thus bringing important information from clinical and imaging findings to the veterinary routine.</p>}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine}, author={Lima, Bruna Bressianini and Miranda, Brenda Santos Pompeu and Ramos, Denise Jaques and Lopes, Bibiana and Pereira, Tainara Morais and Franco, Tamara Rodrigues and Pozzobon, Ricardo and Fighera, Rafael Almeida and Feliciano, Marcus Antônio Rossi}, year={2023}, month={Jan.}, pages={e005122} }
