Paraganglioma of a presumed celiac ganglion in a dog

Abstract

A 10-year-old French Bulldog was presented for acute vomiting. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a well-delineated mass encircling the celiac artery, close to its emergence from the aorta. Surgery permitted complete excision of the mass. Histopathology combined with immunohistochemistry yielded the diagnosis of paraganglioma.
