| Extraprostatic Cysts in Dogs – Case Report |
| In veterinary practice, prostatic gland disorders are the most common diseases of the reproductive system in males. The article discusses various prostatic gland disorders in dogs, focusing on prostatic cysts. It indicates that the most frequently occurring prostatic disorders are benign hyperplasia and inflammation, while cysts account for about 5% of cases. Diagnosis involves clinical examination, ultrasound and radiographic examination. Treatment of prostatic cysts can be pharmacological, including chemical castration, or surgical, including marsupialization and omentalization. In this paper, the authors report their diagnosis and treatment of extraprostatic cysts in a dog. |
