  A surface $\Sigma$ endowed with a Poisson tensor $\pi$ is known to admit a
canonical integration $\mathcal{G}(\pi)$, which is a 4-dimensional manifold
with a (symplectic) groupoid structure. In this short note we show that when
$\pi$ is not an area form on the 2-sphere, then $\mathcal{G}(\pi)$ is
diffeomorphic to the cotangent bundle $T^*\Sigma$, this extending results in
\cite{Ma09} and \cite{BCST12}.
