A 7 years old, male, Afghan hound (case 1) and a 10 years old, castrated male, Pekingese (case 2) werereferred with dyspnea. In case 1, thoracic radiographs showed moderate amount of pleural effusion and lobar signin the left cranial lung lobe. Following computed tomographic (CT) examination, lung lobe torsion in left cranial lunglobe was diagnosed. In case 2, thoracic radiographs showed increased cranial lobar opacity but there was no evidenceof pleural effusion. CT examination revealed an abrupt ending bronchus in the left cranial lung lobe. Based on theimaging diagnosis, left cranial lung lobectomy was performed in both cases. Case 1 showed increased lobar opacityand pleural effusion, while case 2 just showed less concrete evidence of lung lobe torsion on thoracic radiographsand marked severe chronic suppurative pneumonia was histopathologically confirmed. In conclusion, CT could be animportant modality when atypical lung disease is suspicious.
