Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old neutered male Labrador mix was brought in with difficulty urinating and straining to pass urine for a few days. Tests showed that he had a buildup of urine in his abdomen due to a problem with his prostate, which was found to be enlarged and abnormal. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with prostatic lymphoma (a type of cancer affecting the prostate) and, due to the severity of his condition, he was euthanized.

Abstract
A 10-year-old neutered male Labrador mix dog presented with a few-day history of stranguria and dysuria. Results of physical examination, laboratory findings, and imaging were consistent with a uroperitoneum and prostatomegaly. Ultrasound showed an enlarged, heterogeneous, and lobular prostate with mineralization, and fluoroscopy showed extravasation of contrast from the prostatic urethra through the prostatic parenchyma into the abdomen. The dog was diagnosed with prostatic lymphoma via cytology and ultimately euthanized. This is the first report of prostatic lymphoma with a concurrent uroperitoneum due to urine leakage from the prostatic urethra through the prostatic parenchyma and capsule into the abdomen.
