The ultrasonographic findings in a nine-year-old female Drahthaar with an adrenocortical carcinoma of the left adrenal gland are described. Examination of the abdomen revealed a large, hypoechoic mass cranial to the left kidney. Areas of calcification inside the mass and the lateral displacement of the caudal vena cava were assessed. The right adrenal gland was thinner and smaller than normal. Several target-like lesions were present in the hepatic parenchyma. A moderate amount of haemorrhagic abdominal fluid was also present. The ultrasonographic findings were consistent with this type of adrenal neoplasia which produces atrophy of the contralateral gland and frequently metastasises to the liver. The ultrasonographic diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma was confirmed by histopathological examination.
描述了一只9岁雌性德国刚毛指示猎犬左肾上腺肾上腺皮质癌的超声检查结果。腹部检查发现左肾上方有一个大的低回声肿块。评估了肿块内的钙化区域和尾腔静脉的侧方移位。右侧肾上腺比正常情况更薄更小。肝实质内有几个靶样病变。还存在中等量的血性腹腔积液。超声检查结果与这种导致对侧肾上腺萎缩并经常转移至肝脏的肾上腺肿瘤类型相符。肾上腺皮质癌的超声诊断通过组织病理学检查得以证实。
