Ectopic ureterocele in a dog: a case report

The clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of a dog with an ectopic ureterocele and concomitant hydronephrosis/hydroureter were reported. After the information obtained in laboratory tests and imaging diagnosis, the animal was submitted to ureterocelectomy and neoureterostomy. The dog presented a favorable evolution after the therapy. Although infrequent, the ureterocele should be considered a differential diagnosis in young animals with history of urinary incontinence.
