Pancreatic insulin-secreting neoplasia in a 9-year-old Afghan hound
AUTOR(ES)
Fenton, Anita C.
RESUMO
An Afghan hound was presented with recurring episodes of weakness progressing to seizures after exercise. Insulinoma was diagnosed by demonstrating excessive insulin secretion in the presence of hypoglycemia. A pancreatic mass was identified and removed during an exploratory laparotomy. Surgical and pathological findings, diagnosis, and clinical management are discussed.
