Abstract

A 6-year and 10-month-old, neutered female Labrador retriever was referred to our hospital with a month-long history of hematuria. Radiological and ultrasonographical examinations revealed a mass in the right kidney area. The mass was removed and investigated pathologically. Cystic wall composed of a thick capsule and a compressed renal parenchyma surrounded the mass. In cross section, it showed a grayish white mass like a cauliflower in the cyst. Tumor cells were spindle-shaped, and reacted with anti-vimentin antibody. In addition there were transitional epitheliums positive for anti-keratin/cytokeratin antibody, and myogenic cells positive to anti-desmin and anti-α-SMA antibodies. Based on these observations, this tumor was diagnosed as nephroblastoma, although primitive glomeruli and nephronic tubules were not observed.
