B. Nell et al., NODULAR DERMATOFIBROSIS AND RENAL CYSTADE NOCARCINOMA IN A GERMAN-SHEPHERD CROSSBRED DOG, Wiener Tierarztliche Monatschrift (1914), 85(4), 1998, pp. 123-129
The case of a female spayed, 11 years old, German Shepherd crossbred d
og with nodular dermatofibrosis and renal cystadenocarcinoma is report
ed. The symptoms and the course of the disease are similar to that rep
orted in the German Shepherd dog and the Golden Retriever. Sonography,
computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed the variety
of the kidneys' alterations. This is the first documented case in a G
erman Shepherd crossbred dog. The occurrence in a crossbred may be due
to a dominant heritability.
