Abstract: Haemangiomas in animals have been recorded frequently, but there have been few reports of their occurrence in the canine kidney. According to Cotchin (1951) and Jabara (1968) primary neoplasms of the kidney are rare in dogs and, when they occur, usually involve the epithelial tissues. The relative rarity of primary renal tumours, particularly those associated with endothelial tissue, has prompted this report of a case of renal haemangioma involving the anterior pole of the right kidney in a 4-year-old male working dog.
