Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old mare was brought in because she was having trouble urinating and needed to go frequently. The veterinarian found a mass in her pelvis that was blocking her urinary flow and also noted signs of kidney failure. Unfortunately, due to the poor outlook for recovery, the mare was euthanized. A postmortem exam showed that the mass was pelvic lymphoma, which had compressed her urethra and caused her symptoms.

Abstract
A 6-year-old mare was presented for evaluation of dysuria and pollakiuria. A pelvic mass, which caused obstruction of urinary outflow, was identified. Evidence of renal failure was also present. Due to poor prognosis the mare was euthanized. A postmortem examination revealed a pelvic lymphoma that surrounded and compressed the urethra.
