A dog (male, dachshund, aged 16.5 years) was euthanised due to hypoglycaemia, which had lasted for about eight years. Macroscopic examinations revealed bilateral tumours of the following sizes 7 cm x 5 cm x 4 cm (right) and 6 cm x 5 cm x 3.5 cm (left) in the sublumbar area. The presence of these tumours was found with an ultrasound examination performed on the dog at the age of 8 years. At that time, the tumours were only half the size. Histopathologically, the tumours were classified as phaeochromocytoma. The morphology of the liver, extensive necrotic foci and hyperplasia of connective tissue in particular, contributed to the dog's hypoglycaemia. The lesions could have developed as a result of damage to acinar cells of the pancreas and became advanced due to long-term glycocorticotherapy. In turn, originally, hypoglycaemia might have developed in the dog as a result of adrenal medulla failure induced by phaeochromocytoma.
