The 11-year-old dog had a 3-month history of hematuria. Upon surgical approach to the retroperitoneal area an irregularly thickened wall was revealed, and additionally six (6) cysts 1-6 mm in diameter protruded from the mucosal surface.

These lesions are consisted with polypoid cystitis which is is a rare-benign disease, histopathology is the means of definitive diagnosis and it is best treated with surgical cystotomy.
