Cistite hemorrágica linfoplasmocitária em cão: relato de caso

Abstract

Cystitis can be classified as acute or chronic. Acute cystitis is very common in dogs, being more prevalent in females. Since chronic cystitis is uncommon, and is often related to urolithiasis and chronic infections, histologically it has three forms: diffuse, follicular and polypoid. The present work aims to report a case of lymphoplasmacytic hemorrhagic cystitis in male, with few similar characteristics to already reported chronic canine cystitis. The main clinical sign observed was severe hematuria. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy and immunohistochemistry, and even after the diagnosis, the prognosis was poor. Several treatment attempts were performed with little response, and the animal died due to anemia caused by the severe hematúria.
