Abstract

Cystitis cystica et glandularis (CCEG) with inverted papilloma are rare, benign bladder lesions in dogs, often arising from chronic irritation. Though non-neoplastic, they may mimic malignancies like transitional cell carcinoma, necessitating thorough investigation. A nine-years-old intact male Labrador retriever, was presented with the history of persistent hematuria and dysuria unresponsive to medical therapy. Ultrasonography revealed thickened bladder wall and mucosal projections suggestive of neoplasia. Cystotomy exposed multiple sessile proliferations, which were excised. Histopathology confirmed cystitis cystica et glandularis with inverted papilloma, featuring urothelial cords and von Brunn nests. The animal had an uneventful recovery.
