RESUMO
An eight-year-old male Staffordshire bull terrier was presented with a bleeding mass in the urethral mucosa 1.5 cm distal to the ischial arch. After cytological findings suggestive of a squamous cell carcinoma and confirmation of the mass with urethroscopy, total penile amputation followed by transpelvic urethrostomy using an ischial symphyseal ostectomy was performed. The procedure successfully produced a tension-free anastomosis of the urethra to the skin in the scrotal position and no major complications were observed in the postoperative period. Histologically, the lesion was reported as a ruptured vascular structure with thrombosis and repair tissue. Seven months after surgery the dog is free of clinical signs.
