A transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis was diagnosed in a 10-year-old, male German shepherd that presented with a 1-month history of hematuria and weight loss. Unilateral nephrectomy and chemotherapy with carboplatin was applied, but the dog was euthanized five months after the surgery due to metastasis.
