Metastatic thyroid solid-follicular carcinoma in the cervical portion of the spine of a dog.

A metastatic thyroid solid-follicular carcinoma in the cervical portion of the spine was responsible for severe tetraparesis in a dog. Myelography revealed an extradural compressive lesion dorsal and to the right of the midline of C3. Histologic examination was used to diagnose the mass as a solid-follicular thyroid carcinoma. The primary tumor was not evident on cervical palpation or radiography. A dorsal laminectomy centered over C3 was performed, and all visible tumor was removed from the spine. The owner declined any further treatment for the dog.

Menetrier's syndrome in children.

Since Menetrier's original description in 1888 many cases of hypertrophic gastritis have been recorded in adults. Only recently has a similar syndrome been described in childhood. The case reported demonstrates the characteristic features of the condition (the duration was rather longer than in other reported cases) and diagnosis, clinical course and aetiology are discussed. In contrast to the adult disease this illness is usually short-lived with full clinical and histological remission occurring within a few months.
