Plain-English summary
A 9-year-old Weimaraner was brought to the vet with blood in his urine and severe swelling in one kidney due to a tumor in the ureter. The veterinarian diagnosed him with a ureteral sarcoma, a rare type of cancer. To treat it, the vet performed surgery to remove the affected kidney and ureter. After the surgery, the dog showed improvement, and the blood in his urine resolved.

Abstract
A ureteral sarcoma was diagnosed in a nine-year-old Weimaraner dog with gross haematuria, severe unilateral hydronephrosis, and hydroureter. Treatment consisted of unilateral nephrectomy and ureterectomy. This case was compared with 14 other ureteral tumours reported in the veterinary literature. Only three previous reports concerned a malignant ureteral tumour. Urinary tract neoplasms mainly involve the bladder and the kidney, and more rarely the urethra. The purpose of this paper is to report a rare case of malignant ureteral tumour in a dog.
