A case of canine gallbladder neuroendocrine tumor with gallbladder wall invasion successfully treated by cholecystectomy with hepatic parenchymal resection
A 6-year-old, spayed female Boston Terrier presented with elevated ALT. The dog underwent abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography, which resulted in a suspected gallbladder neuroendocrine tumor. Complete tumor resection was achieved by cholecystectomy with hepatic parenchymal resection despite tumor invasion into the gallbladder. The diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumor was confirmed by histopathology. This case suggests the surgical technique described could be an effective treatment option for canine gallbladder neuroendocrine tumors.
