A 2-year-old male German shepherd dog in poor bodily condition was evaluated for thoracic limb lameness due to a large, firm mass medial to the left cranial scapula. Radiography revealed several large cauliflower-like mineralized masses in the craniomedial left scapula musculature, pectoral region and bilaterally in the biceps tendon sheaths. Urinalysis, haematology and serum biochemistry showed that the dog was severely anaemic, hyperphosphataemic and in chronic renal failure. The dog was euthanased and a full post mortem performed. A diagnosis of chronic renal failure with secondary hyperparathyroidism was confirmed. The mineralised masses were grossly and histopathologically consistent with a diagnosis of tumoral calcinosis. Tumoral calcinosis associated with chronic renal failure that does not involve the foot pads is rarely seen.
一只身体状况不佳的2岁雄性德国牧羊犬因左颅肩胛骨内侧有一个大而硬的肿块而接受胸肢跛行评估。放射检查显示左颅肩胛骨内侧肌肉组织、胸肌区域以及双侧肱二头肌腱鞘内有几个大的菜花状矿化肿块。尿液分析、血液学检查和血清生化检查表明，这只狗严重贫血、高磷血症且患有慢性肾衰竭。对该犬实施安乐死并进行了全面尸检。确诊为慢性肾衰竭伴继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进。这些矿化肿块在大体和组织病理学上与肿瘤性钙化的诊断一致。与慢性肾衰竭相关且不累及脚垫的肿瘤性钙化很少见。
