A seven-year-old entire male Irish setter was presented because of a neck mass, prolapse of the third eyelid and apparent drooping of the upper eyelid. Historical findings included increased appetite as well as polyuria and polydipsia for about two weeks. The most remarkable findings on physical examination were right-sided Horner's syndrome, pre-scapular lymphadenopathy and a large, ventral cervical mass. Lateral cervical radiographs showed a large, soft tissue opacity surrounding the trachea and retropharyngeal area which was causing displacement and narrowing of the cervical trachea and oesophagus. Results of thyroid testing suggested hyperthyroidism. At necropsy, a large, invasive tumour was identified in the ventral cervical region and multiple metastases of various sizes were detected in the lungs. Histopathological examination of the tumour revealed follicular thyroid carcinoma and confirmed widespread pulmonary metastasis.
一只七岁的未绝育雄性爱尔兰雪达犬因颈部肿块、第三眼睑脱垂和上眼睑明显下垂前来就诊。既往病史包括食欲增加以及多尿和多饮约两周。体格检查最显著的发现是右侧霍纳氏综合征、肩胛前淋巴结病和一个位于颈部腹侧的大肿块。颈部侧位X线片显示气管和咽后区域周围有一个大的软组织密度影，导致颈段气管和食管移位并变窄。甲状腺检测结果提示甲状腺功能亢进。尸检时，在颈部腹侧区域发现一个大的浸润性肿瘤，并在肺部检测到多个大小不一的转移灶。肿瘤的组织病理学检查显示为滤泡状甲状腺癌，并证实有广泛的肺转移。
