An 11-year-old male Golden Retriever presented with progressive weight loss, tachycardia, hyperthermia, polyuria and polydipsia. A freely movable mass, 4.5 x 4 cm in size, was palpated at the cranioventral cervical region. Hormonal study revealed high levels of serum thyroid hormones, and a tentative diagnosis of hyperthyroidism due to a thyroid tumor was made. The tumor was removed surgically and diagnosed histopathologically as thyroid gland adenoma. Serum thyroid hormone levels decreased after surgery with improved clinical signs. At 12 months after surgery, the dog maintained a good physical condition with no evidence of recurrence.
一只11岁的雄性金毛猎犬出现进行性体重减轻、心动过速、体温过高、多尿和烦渴。在颅腹侧颈部区域可触及一个大小为4.5×4厘米、可自由移动的肿块。激素研究显示血清甲状腺激素水平升高，初步诊断为甲状腺肿瘤导致的甲状腺功能亢进。手术切除该肿瘤，组织病理学诊断为甲状腺腺瘤。术后血清甲状腺激素水平下降，临床症状改善。术后12个月，这只狗身体状况良好，无复发迹象。
