A 13-year-old, spayed female, Yorkshire terrier was presented with a history of vomiting and diarrhea. Radiographic and ultrasonographic studies suggested rupture of right renal cyst. Left kidney had increased cortical echogenecity with indistinct corticomedullary junction on sonogram. Unilateral nephroureterectomy of right kidney was performed. Histopathologic examination of the resected renal mass confirmed a renal cystadenocarcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first case report of renal cystadenocarcinoma in a small breed dog in Korea.

서울에서 개의 안과질환에 대한 역학적인 특징에 대해 2009년 1월부터 2013년 12월까지우성동물메디칼센터에 안과질환으로 내원한 초진환자들의 자료를 분석하였다. 총 1253두의 안과환자들이 초진 내원하였으며, 평균나이는 7.93년령 (SD, 4.06)이었다. 환자중에 Shih Tzu (29.4%)가 가장 많았으며, Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, toy Poodle (P < 0.01)이 뒤를 따랐다. 눈에서 질병이 호발하는 곳은 수정체 관련 질환이 가장 많았으며 (28.3%), 안검질환, 망막질환, 비루관질환, 포도막질환, 유리체질환, 시신경계 질환이 그 뒤를 따랐다(P < 0.01). 수정체, 안검, 망막, 비루관, 포도막, 유리체, 시신경계 질환들은 주로 양측성 질환(P < 0.01)으로 발생하는 경향을 보였다. Shih Tzu에서는 각막질환이 가장 많이 발생하였으며, 수정체, 안검, 망막, 녹내장 질환이 그 뒤를 따랐다. Maltese에서는 수정체, 안검, 망막, 각막질환의 순으로 질병이 발생했다. Yorkshire Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, 그리고 toy Poodle 종은 수정체 질환이 가장 많았다(P < 0.01). 안과질환으로 병원에 내원하는 주된 환자들은 Shih Tzu, Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier등과 같은 소형견들이었고, 대부분 수정체 질환과 같은 품종소인이 있는 질환이 대부분이었다.

A 7-year-old castrated male Yorkshire Terrier presented for a palpable mass of the right neck with ophthalmic signs of conjunctival hyperemia and anisocoria with fixed mydriatic pupil of the right eye. Clinical examination findings included the absence of direct and consensual pupillary light reflexes, external and internal ophthalmoplegia, and corneal hypoesthesia with incomplete blinking of the right eye. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography revealed a mass extending from the right cavernous sinus to the orbital fissure with neighboring bone lysis. Cytological examination of fine-needle aspiration samples of the mass revealed a neuroendocrine tumor. The owner declined further diagnosis and did not wish to care for the dog receiving chemotherapy. This study describes the importance of investigating neuro-ophthalmic findings, which might provide clues for the localization of lesions, including tumors, to aid in diagnosis.

A 7-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier dog was present to an animal clinic and a large soft mass was found in the spleen by radiological examination, and total splenorectomy was performed. Grossly, a large protruded splenic mass was soft to moderately firm and multilobulated. On the cut surface, the mass was off-white to tan, dark red, and rust colored with many cavitation and had gelatinous areas. Histologically, the tumor cells were characterized by coexistence of the primitive mesenchymal tissues and mature or immature cartilage tissues. Primitive mesenchymal areas were composed of round/oval or spindle shaped immature cells with high mitosis. The tumor cells of the cartilage areas were located in basophilic cartilaginous matrix. Intercellular matrix in the cartilaginous areas was stained blue with Masson's trichrome and deep blue with alcian blue, respectively. Immunohistochemically, the cartilaginous tumor cells demonstrated positive reactions for vimentin and S-100, and surrounding mesenchymal tumor cells are immunopositive for vimentin. This case was diagnosed as splenic extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of a Yorkshire Terrier dog, a toy breed.

tisue disease of dog and cat, resembling Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) in man. EDS is characterizedby loose, hyperextensible and, fragile skin, it is attributed to mutations in connective tisue gene. Thesemutations cause defects in type I or II collagen synthesis and as a result lack of strength or elasticityto skin, joint, ligament and vessels. EDS-affected animals often experience subcutaneous hematomas thathave long bleeding times. The 4-years old male Yorkshire terrier was evaluated because of subcutaneoushematoma after stifle surgery. Clinical examination revealed a thin and hyperextensible skin and jointlaxity. The degree of skin extensibility index was 23.4%, marked skin stretchy. Clinical diagnosis wasconfirmed by histophathological examination of a skin biopsy revealing reduced packing density ofcollagen fiber of skin.

A 12-year-old, castrated male Yorkshire terrier dog presented with frequent regurgitations that had begun 45 days earlier and become more progressive. Radiographs revealed an air-trap region behind the cranial esophageal sphincter muscle in the esophagus and esophagographies with barium contrast showed mild esophageal dilation with decreased motility. Esophageal motility increased within 5 min of neostigmine methylsulfate administration and acetylcholine receptor antibodies titer increased to beyond the normal range. Based on these findings, acquired myasthenia gravis with focal form was diagnosed, making this the first such case diagnosed by an acetylcholine receptor antibody test in Korea.

A 6 month-old castrated male Yorkshire terrier (weighing 1.0 kg) was presented with acute respiratory distress. Diagnostic imaging studies found post-obstructive pulmonary edema sequel to upper airway obstruction by a rubber plug lodged at thoracic esophagus. The rubber plug was removed endoscopically. After removal of this rubber plug with conventional therapy for pulmonary edema, the clinical condition of dog was stabilized. To the best knowledge of authors, this is the first case report describing postobstructive pulmonary edema in a dog in Korea.

A 7-year-old, intact female Yorkshire terrier dog was presented for coughing, anorexia, chest pain and dyspnea. Right lateral thoracic radiograph demonstrated a large mass shape on the heart base with decreased cardiac silhouette and severe right deviation of the trachea with the heart shifted to the left thoracic wall was observed on the ventrodorsal thoracic projection. Echocardiographic examination revealed a large rounded mass compressing left atrium around the heart base without signs of pericardial effusion. On computed tomographic (CT) findings, sagittal CT images depicted the possibility of cranial vena caval invasion and heart base involvement of the mass associated with biatrial compression. Dorsal CT image revealed the right deviation of trachea due to the heart base mass and markedly shrunk lung space was detected on the transverse CT image. Because the dog suddenly had died during the recovery from anesthesia after finishing CT scan, necropsy was performed. On gross findings, a large and lobulated mass was located at the base of the heart. A poorly-demarcated, infiltrative, multilobulated tumor composed of polyhedral cells in solid cellular sheets was confirmed based on histopathologic examination. This dog was diagnosed as a chemodectoma. This case report describes the clinical findings, diagnostic consistency of thoracic radiography, echocardiography and CT, and histopathologic confirmation in a spontaneously occurring chemodectoma with a Yorkshire terrier dog.

7년령의 중성화된 수컷 Yorkshire Terrier가 복강에 종괴가 촉진되어 이를 주증으로 내원하였다. 방사선 검사 상 복강의 등쪽면에 신장 종괴와 작은 복강 종괴가 관찰되었다. 수술적으로 적출된 우측 신장에서는, 육안적으로 붉은 갈색조를 띄는 종괴와 낭상 구조가 함께 관찰되었다. 병리조직검사 상에서 다각형 또는 타원형의 내피세포를 가진 다수의 불규칙한 모양의 신생혈관이 관찰되었으며, 이 혈관들과 종양세포들은 주변조직으로의 강한 침습성을 보였다. 복강의 또 다른 작은 종괴에서는 신장 종괴와 동일한 병리조직학적 소견을 관찰할 수 있었다. 면역조직화학염색을 실시한 결과 종양세포들은 vimentin, CD31 및 von Willbrand factor에 대해 양성 반응을 보였으나, cytokeratin에 대해서는 음성 반응을 보였다. 육안적인 특징, 병리조직학적 소견 및 면역조직화학적 검사를 바탕으로 본 증례는 신장원성 혈관육종으로 진단하였다.
