Abstract

An 8-year-old castrated male Cocker Spaniel (weighing 12.0 kg) was referred to the Kangwon National University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, with primary complaints of persistent hematuria. Diagnostic studies revealed neutrophilia, hematuria, proteinuria, abnormal irregular shaped hyperechoic lesion in urinary bladder. The lesion was demarcated from the intact region of bladder and consisted of eosinophils, macrophages, lymphocyte and fibrocytes. Based on the histopathological exam, the case was diagnosed as eosinophilic polypoid cystitis and treated by surgical removal and short-term medical therapy (meloxicam and amitriptyline). The therapy was successful and recurrence has not been occurred.

8살된 코커스파니엘 수캐가 지속적인 혈뇨 때문에 강원대학교 대학병원에 진료의뢰 되었다. 진단검사상, 지속적인 혈뇨, 경미한 백혈구 증가증, 단백뇨 및 초음파상 불규칙한 모양의 코에코성 종괴가 관찰되었다. 종괴는 주변 방광조직으로부터 분리되어 있었고 결절 형태를 띠고 있었다. 조직검사상, 호산구를 주요 세포로 하는 염증세포 침윤과 출혈 및 상피비후 소견이 관찰되었다. 진단검사를 토대로 호산구성 폴립성 방광염으로 진단되었다. 환자에서 외과적으로 병소를 제거하였고 meloxicam과 amitriptyline을 이용하여 내과적으로 처치하였다. 치료는 성공적이였고 재발은 현재까지 되지 않고있다.
