Abstract
A posterior mediastinal paraganglioma is described in a five‐year‐old female collie showing paralysis of the hindlimbs. The mass was observed radiographically and a myelogram confirmed a spinal cord compression at the thoracic level. Histological examination of the mass diagnosed a paraganglioma which was confirmed by histochemical and immunohistochemical studies. This is compared with paraganglioma found in man.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
