Abstract
A thymoma was tentatively diagnosed by radiographic and cytologic examinati on in a dog with hypercalcemia and elevated serum parathyroid hormone-relat ed protein (PTHrP) concentration. Following surgical excision, the diagnosi s of thymoma was confirmed via histopathologic examination, the hypercalcem ia resolved, and the PTHrP concentration decreased to below detectable limi ts.
