Extraskeletal osteosarcoma in the urethra of a male neutered: a case report
While extraskeletal osteosarcoma has been documented in cats, there are no known reports specifically detailing osteosarcomas of the urethra and bladder in this species. When cats present with stranguria and dysuria, and the diagnosis is not evidently an urolith, osteosarcoma should be considered among the differential diagnoses. Further diagnostic imaging, such as a CT scan, may be warranted to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
