Abstract

|
An 11-year-old, intact male Shih Tzu presented with obesity, thin hair coat, and abdominal distention. Thepatient had previously received corticosteroid therapy for dermatitis. Thoracic radiographs showed incidental findingsof a generally diffuse bronchointerstitial pattern and markedly radiolucent pleural lines between the middle and caudallung lobes, but clinical signs related to the thoracic radiographic findings were absent. Echogenicity of the hepaticparenchyma was increased and bilateral adrenal glands were not enlarged on ultrasonography. On computed tomography,the central regions of the lung lobes showed ground-glass attenuation, the peripheral regions of the lung lobes wererelatively hypoattenuated compared with the central regions, and hyperattenuated nodules were distributed throughoutthe pulmonary parenchyma. Iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism and secondary pulmonary mineralization was diagnosedon the basis of diagnostic imaging and adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation test.
