Persistent hematuria in a dog with renal hemangioma.
Persistent hematuria in a neutered male Collie failed to resolve after treatment for adult Dirofilaria immitis. Excretory urography revealed normal opacification and an hourglass-shaped right kidney, with distortion of the renal pelvis and diverticula. After ureteronephrectomy, recovery was uncomplicated, and hematuria ceased 2 weeks after surgery. The middle of the excised kidney had been replaced with blood-filled spaces that were consistent with histopathologic diagnosis of hemangioma.
