Pheochromocytomas are uncommon tumors arising from the adrenal gland, which have potential for aggressive local spread. The diagnosis is extremely challenging, particularly when classical endocrine signs are absent. This paper presents two canine cases of pheochromocytoma in the vertebral canal and illustrates the potential for detection of the tumor by abdominal ultrasonography.
嗜铬细胞瘤是起源于肾上腺的罕见肿瘤,具有局部侵袭性扩散的可能性。诊断极具挑战性,尤其是在缺乏典型内分泌症状时。本文介绍了两例椎管内嗜铬细胞瘤的犬病例,并说明了腹部超声检查对该肿瘤的检测潜力。
