The objectives of this article were: (a) To describe the effect of a single administration of the third generation GnRH antagonist, acyline, on canine benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (b) To quantitatively compare parenchyma echogenicity, heterogeneity (SD echogenicity) and blood flow in...

The present study was aimed to evaluate the prostatic disorders based on sonographic findings in intact male dogs. Nineteen dogs of different breeds were identified ultrasonographically with various prostate abnormalities with overall incidence of 3.90% (19/487). Prevalence of various prostatic...

Multiple cysts and mass lesions were detected adjacent to the prostate of a 14-year-old, male, mixed breed dog with a history of perineal hernia. Histologically, the cysts were lined by epithelial cells with microvilli. The masses were mainly composed of thin walled venous and/or lymphatic...
