An adult female hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) was presented for sudden onset of severe weakness in the legs. Neurologic examination revealed bilateral paresis of the pelvic limbs and decreased proprioception. Results of radiographs and computed tomography (CT) revealed variably sized soft tissue nodules throughout the lungs and invading into the spine and vertebral canal. Soon after the CT scan, the bird went into cardiorespiratory arrest and died. At necropsy, several yellow, coalescing nodules that were firm with a caseous component were present in the lungs, and a focus of similar tissue was attached to the vertebrae and invaded the spinal canal. On histologic examination, the diagnosis was primary pulmonary bronchial adenocarcinoma with spinal invasion.
一只成年雌性紫蓝金刚鹦鹉（Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus）因突然出现严重的腿部无力前来就诊。神经系统检查发现双侧后肢轻瘫和本体感觉减退。X线片和计算机断层扫描（CT）结果显示，肺部有大小不一的软组织结节，并侵入脊柱和椎管。CT扫描后不久，这只鸟发生心肺骤停并死亡。尸检时，肺部有几个黄色、融合的结节，质地坚硬，有干酪样成分，椎体上附着有类似组织的病灶并侵入椎管。组织学检查诊断为原发性肺支气管腺癌伴脊柱侵犯。
