A polypeptide immunoreactive nonchromaffin paraganglioma in the periglandular connective tissue of glandula suprarenalis of a dog. A case report.
A nonchromaffin paraganglioma was found in the periglandular connective tissue of the glandula suprarenalis of a sheep-dog bastard and characterized by histological and immunohistochemical techniques. Insulin-, glucagon- and gastrin/cholecystokinin-like material was revealed within the cells of the tumour. Possible functional consequences of these findings are discussed.
