Plain-English summary
A 13-year-old female Welsh corgi was brought to the vet because she had been experiencing blood in her urine and bladder inflammation for the past 2-3 months. After examining her, the vet performed surgery to remove a 4 x 3 x 2 cm mass from her bladder. The mass was found to be a rare type of bone cancer called primary urinary bladder osteosarcoma. This case is notable because it is the first reported instance of this type of tumor in dogs.

Abstract
A 13-year-old, female Welsh corgi had a clinical history of haematuria and cystitis for 2-3 months. A 4 × 3 × 2 cm mass was excised surgically from the apex of the urinary bladder. A primary urinary bladder osteosarcoma was diagnosed histologically. Primary urinary bladder osteosarcoma is a rare tumour in man and animals. To the author's knowledge, there is no previously published report of a primary canine urinary bladder osteosarcoma.
