Eleven healthy intact male mongrel dogs were submitted to prostate ultrasound fine needle aspirative puncture for cytologic exam and, after seven days or more, to videolaparoscopic fragment collection for further histologic evaluation. On cytologic exams, two animals presented changes which correlates with benign prostatic hyperplasia. During the videolaparoscopic proceedings, the prostate fragment collections were made in a quick way and no important hemorrhagic lost has been seen after the collection. The animals presented no complication after the surgeries. The histologic exams showed normal prostate parenchyma based on the cellular and tissue morphology and structure in ten dogs; only one presented cellular and tissue changes suggesting benign prostatic hyperplasia.
