Occurrence of adrenal pheochromocytoma with of metastasis the gut and kidney of a dog - case report

Abstract

A pheochromocytoma is a tumor that occurs in the medulla of the adrenal gland often considered rare in dogs and is rare in cats. The diagnosis for this neoplasm occurs incidentally during autopsy or during surgery. When found in imaging may be treated, but not very common because the affected animals show no clinical signs evident. This study aimed to report the case of a dog with pheochromocytoma, Fox zebrafish, male, ten years old, who was referred to the Veterinary Hospital of Uberaba complaining of vomiting, bloody diarrhea and anuria. The animal came to death and in the laboratory of Pathology autopsy was performed. In macroscopic findings, the animal had greasy appearance of tumors, metastatic kidney and small intestine. Confirmation of that was made histopathologically.
