Figures

Image of 20.2
20.2 Ventrodorsal view from a technetium scan in a cat with thyroid carcinoma, showing irregular uptake of isotope into three thyroid masses in the cervical region.
Image of 20.3
20.3 Thyroid carcinoma in a cat prior to surgical resection. Note the size and irregular shape of the tumour.
Image of 20.4
20.4 A large thyroid carcinoma involving the larynx in an 8-year-old neutered male English Pointer.
Image of 20.5
20.5 Ventrodorsal view from a technetium scan of a dog, showing heterogenous uptake (shape and density) into a thyroid mass. Histopathology of the excised mass indicated thyroid adenocarcinoma.
Image of 20.6
20.6 Ventrodorsal view from a technetium scan of a hyperthyroid dog, showing homogenous uptake into a thyroid mass. Histopathology of excised tissue was consistent with a well differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

20.9 Ultrasound image of a single parathyroid gland adenoma (arrowed) in a 10-year-old neutered male Long-haired Dachshund.
Image of 20.10
20.10 A 10-year-old castrated male cat before and after development of acromegaly.
Image of 20.11
20.11 An 11-year-old male DSH cat with acromegaly, demonstrating enlargement of the head and mild prognathia inferior.
Image of 20.12
20.12 Magnetic resonance imaging study demonstrating a pituitary mass in a cat with acromegaly.
Image of 20.13
20.13 A poodle showing clinical manifestations of hyperadrenocorticism. Note the alopecia and thin skin.
Image of 20.14
20.14 ACTH stimulation test results.
Image of 20.15
20.15 Low-dose dexamethasone suppression test results.
Image of 20.16
20.16 Ultrasound image of the left adrenal gland in an 8-year-old neutered male Labrador with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism. The adrenal gland is enlarged (arrowed) but has normal architecture.
Image of 20.17
20.17 Ultrasound image of the right adrenal gland of a 5-year-old neutered female Australian Shepherd Dog with bilateral adrenal tumours. Note the rounded appearance (arrowed) and abnormal adrenal architecture.
Image of 20.18
20.18 CT image of a 10-year-old neutered female mixed-breed dog with a left adrenal tumour. Note the adrenal mass (arrowed) medial to the left kidney (bright due to contrast medium).
Image of 20.19
20.19 A large adrenal mass invading a kidney, seen after concurrent adrenalectomy and nephrectomy.
Image of 20.20
20.20 A 13-year-old neutered female DSH cat with PDH.
Image of 20.21
20.21 Skin laceration induced by grooming in a 10-year-old neutered male DSH cat with PDH.
