A 13-year-old FS Labrador Retriever dog was presented for evaluation of elevated T4 (6.4).
Left thyroid mass, highly vascular. Suspect functional thyroid carcinoma given the hyperthyroidism. Minor, regional inflammation was noted.
Thyroid mass measured approximately 2.0 x 1.5 cm and appears encapsulated. The mass was deriving from the caudal pole of the left thyroid lobe. The mass is highly vascular and strongly consistent with thyroid carcinoma. The right thyroid was unremarkable with 0.39 cm medial parathyroid. The right thyroid lobe measured 1.65 x 0.35 cm. Pericapsular inflammatory pattern was also noted in this patient around the mass. The mass appears encapsulated and resectable.
Recommend surgical approach to left thyroidectomy. Three view chest radiographs and cranial mediastinal imaging as well as echocardiogram would be recommended. Blood pressure measurements would be warranted as well.
