Abstract
A German Shepherd dog was diagnosed with periodic myopathy secondary to persistent hypokalaemia. Hormone analysis revealed excess cortisol secretion. A neuroendocrine carcinoma, thought to be a primary hepatic carcinoid, was detected in the liver. Ectopic adrenocorticotrophin hormone secretion was suspected as the cause of hypercortisolism and hypokalaemia, although this could not be confirmed by immunohistochemical staining.Entities:
