Abstract
The kidneys are relatively common sites for development of metastases, but primary tumours of the kidney are uncommon in both the dog and cat. The chapter looks at tumours of the kidney; tumours of the ureter; tumours of the urinary bladder; tumours of the urethra; tumours of the ovary; tumours of the uterus and cervix; tumours of the vagina and vulva; tumours of the testicle; tumours of the penis; tumours of the prostate gland.

Double contrast cystogram demonstrating a mass (arrowed) associated with the dorsal bladder wall. The urothelium appears smooth, suggesting that the mass might be mesenchymal and not epithelial in origin. These findings may also be suggestive of a benign rather than a malignant tumour. © 2011 British Small Animal Veterinary Association

Retrograde positive contrast vaginourethrogram of a bitch with haematuria and dysuria. There is a filling defect within the distal urethra (arrowed) consistent with a urethral tumour. Exfoliative histopathology confirmed the lesion to be a TCC. The bitch subsequently underwent successful tumour resection and reconstructive vaginourethroplasty. © 2011 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
