Popis:	A Vietnamese pot-bellied pig with a urethral polyp was supported by total parenteral nutrition given through an intraosseous implant. Peripheral vascular access was difficult to establish and maintain in this anorectic pig, so a pediatric intraosseous implant was placed in the left tibia. Surgical repair of the urethra was not considered possible, and alternative techniques of a functional bypass were unacceptable to the owners, so euthanasia was elected. Histologic examination of the urethra revealed a polypoid structure believed to be similar to benign congenital polyps described in young boys.
