Plain-English summary
A 3.5-year-old spayed female crossbred dog was brought to the vet because she had blood in her urine for a long time. After several tests, including ultrasound and surgery to remove a kidney, the vet found that a type of tumor called renal haemangioma was causing the bleeding. After the surgery, the dog's symptoms improved. However, a month later, she developed a lump under her skin, which was found to be a different type of tumor called a cutaneous cavernous haemangioma. Fortunately, no other issues were reported a year later.

Abstract
A three-and-a-half-year-old, spayed female, crossbred dog was presented with chronic haematuria. Diagnostic tests included abdominal ultrasonography, intravenous urography, cystoscopy and nephrectomy. Renal haemangioma was identified as the cause of the haematuria, which resolved postoperatively. A subcutaneous mass developed one month after the nephrectomy, which was diagnosed by biopsy as a cutaneous cavernous haemangioma. No other masses were reported one year later.
