Abstract
A 14-year-old intact male Siberian Husky was presented with hematuria, lethargy, and anorexia of 1-month duration. The physical examination revealed mild abdominal distension and pain. The hematology and serum chemistry revealed anemia and severe azotemia. The radiographic examination revealed renomegaly and the ultrasonographic examination, indistinct cortico-medullary junction, increased renal cortex echogenicity, and irregular margination. The urinalysis showed proteinuria and hematuria. The differential diagnosis included renal failure, cystitis, pyelonephritis, and neoplasia. The patient's condition continued to deteriorate, and the dog eventually died. The gross findings from the necropsy revealed hemoperitoneum and a bilateral renal mass. HSA was diagnosed by histopathological examination. This case report describes primary bilateral renal hemangiosarcoma (HSA), which is uncommon in dogs.
