Hyperthyroidism associated with thyroid adenoma was diagnosed in a dog. Typical clinical signs of hyperthyroidism were resolved with surgical excision of the adenoma. Hyperthyroidism in dogs usually is associated with thyroid carcinoma, which has a poor prognosis. This case emphasizes the importance of obtaining a histologic diagnosis of thyroid tumors in hyperthyroid dogs before giving a prognosis.
一只狗被诊断出患有与甲状腺腺瘤相关的甲状腺功能亢进症。通过手术切除腺瘤,甲状腺功能亢进的典型临床症状得到缓解。犬甲状腺功能亢进通常与甲状腺癌有关,预后较差。该病例强调了在对甲状腺功能亢进的犬只进行预后评估之前,对甲状腺肿瘤进行组织学诊断的重要性。
