Computed tomography (CT) was performed in 10 dogs with hyperadrenocorticism not suppressible by dexamethasone. In 6 of these dogs, a unilateral adrenal mass was found on CT images. Specimens of the masses were obtained via retroperitoneal laparotomy; histologic examination revealed 4 carcinomas, 1 adenoma, and 1 nodular hyperplasia. In the 4 other dogs, CT revealed symmetric bilateral adrenal gland enlargement. In 2 of these dogs, contrast-enhanced CT revealed a mass in the pituitary fossa, which could be identified at necropsy as a pituitary tumor. The other 2 dogs were successfully treated with mitotane.
对10只患有无法被地塞米松抑制的肾上腺皮质功能亢进的犬进行了计算机断层扫描（CT）检查。在这些犬中，6只在CT图像上发现了单侧肾上腺肿块。通过腹膜后剖腹术获取了肿块标本；组织学检查显示有4例为癌，1例为腺瘤，1例为结节性增生。在另外4只犬中，CT显示双侧肾上腺对称增大。其中2只犬的增强CT显示垂体窝有肿块，尸检时可确定为垂体肿瘤。另外2只犬用米托坦成功治疗。
