Abstract
A 15 year old warmblood gelding was presented with hematuria and a 4 w eeks lasting severe lameness of the right front limb. Clusters of tumo ur cells were detected in the urine sediment. Radiographic and sonogra phic examination revealed a tumour metastasis in the right proximal hu meral diaphysis and metaphysis. Following euthanasia, the post-mortem examination revealed a transitional cell carcinoma of the left kidney which had metastasized to the left renal lymph nodes, left adrenal gla nd and right humerus.
