A surface $\sum$ endowed with a Poisson tensor
$\pi$ is known to admit a canonical integration,
$G\left( \pi \right)$, which is a 4-dimensional manifold with a (symplectic) Lie groupoid structure. In this short note we show that if
$\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }$ is not an area form on the 2-sphere, then
$G\left( \pi \right)$ is diffeomorphic to the cotangent bundle
$T*\sum$. This extends results by the author and by Bonechi, Ciccoli, Staffolani, and Tarlini.
