Overview

Clinical report demonstrates metastatic thyroid carcinoma in a dog, highlighting unique imaging findings.

Key Points

  • To document unique imaging findings of a calcitonin-negative thyroid tumor with suspected metastasis in a dog.
  • MRI imaging of brain and cervical spine was performed to assess the lesions.
  • Fine needle aspiration cytology was conducted for diagnosis.
  • Immunocytochemistry tests determined the tumor markers.
  • MRI displayed a left thyroid mass and extradural mass in the cervical vertebral canal.
  • Cytology confirmed thyroid carcinoma with cervical spine metastasis, negative for thyroglobulin and calcitonin.
  • The thyroid tumor was positive for chromogranin A, classifying it as a neuroendocrine tumor.
