A 13-year-old, castrated male, domestic longhaired cat was diagnosed with primary hyperaldosteronism from an adrenal gland tumor and a thrombus in the caudal vena cava. Clinical signs included cervical ventriflexion, lethargy, weakness, inappetence, and diarrhea. Laboratory tests revealed hypokalemia, normonatremia, hyperglycemia, hypophosphatemia, and elevated creatine kinase activity. Hypokalemia worsened despite oral potassium supplementation. An adrenalectomy and caval thrombectomy were successfully performed utilizing deliberate hypothermia followed by progressive rewarming.

Pathology, Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital, Philadelphia, USA.
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a malignancy of the adrenal cortex with a high morbidity and mortality. More than half of the cases are functional tumors. As different hormones can be co-secreted above physiologic levels, it causes a very broad variety of symptoms and makes differentiating from more common entities hard.

Article Synopsis
- Caval thrombus with intracardiac involvement is a rare condition linked to renal cell carcinoma, but there are few reports of it associated with metastatic melanoma.
- Metastatic melanoma typically affects the adrenal gland, but it is very uncommon for it to extend into the renal vein and inferior vena cava.
- The case report highlights a treatment involving radical nephrectomy and adrenalectomy for a patient with metastatic melanoma.

Objective: To study the possibilities and results of reconstruction of caval veins.
Material And Methods: We analyzed the results of reconstruction of caval veins in 31 patients (19 men and 12 women) including superior vena cava (SVC) in 5 cases and inferior vena cava (IVC) in 26 cases. Penetrating wounds with vascular damage were found in 8 patients.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy as an alternative to adrenalectomy for the treatment of pheochromocytomas in 8 dogs.

VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital, Los Angeles, California, USA.
The objective of this report is to describe the use and outcome of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for treatment of pheochromocytomas in 8 dogs. Pheochromocytomas are an uncommon but challenging tumour to manage. Adrenalectomy is the standard of care for treatment of pheochromocytomas in both animals and humans; however, unpredictable catecholamine secretion from the tumour and vascular and local invasion of the tumour and thrombi can pose life-threatening perioperative and anaesthetic risks.
