A 7-year-old, neutered male cat was presented with a 6-month history of progressive polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, aggression, and weight gain. Previous blood work, urinalysis, and radiographs did not delineate a cause for the clinical signs. An ultrasound revealed bilateral adrenal gland enlargement. A low-dose dexamethasone suppression test was consistent with hyperadrenocorticism. Based on these findings, bilateral adrenalectomy was attempted and successfully performed. Histopathology was consistent with a cortical adenoma in the right adrenal gland and a pheochromocytoma in the left adrenal gland. This association has never been reported in the cat.
一只7岁已绝育的雄性猫，出现了6个月的进行性多尿、多饮、多食、攻击性增强和体重增加的病史。之前的血液检查、尿液分析和X光片均未明确临床症状的病因。超声检查显示双侧肾上腺增大。低剂量地塞米松抑制试验结果符合肾上腺皮质功能亢进。基于这些发现，尝试并成功实施了双侧肾上腺切除术。组织病理学检查结果显示，右侧肾上腺为皮质腺瘤，左侧肾上腺为嗜铬细胞瘤。这种关联在猫中从未有过报道。
