Abstract
Neoplasms of the canine thyroid gland represent 5-10% of heart base ma sses (Capen, 1978). Ectopic thyroid tissue is,detected most commonly i n the thorax, with 23-80% of all dogs having ectopic tissue at the bas e of the heart (Leav et al, 1976; Walsh & Diters, 1984). We describe h ere the gross and microscopic features of a rare ectopic thyroid carci noma in a dog and the results of an immunohistochemical study of the t umour.
