- Abstract
A 13-year-old mixed breed dog was presented with difficulties to urinate, blood in the urine and a nodule at the root of the penis. The penis was completely resected, and an osteosarcoma of the penile bone was diagnosed. Radiographically, there was no evidence to suggest tumours in other bones or distant metastases. The dog was euthanized as a consequence of tumour recurrence after 2 months. This is believed to be the first reported case of a primary osteosarcoma of the penile bone.
