| 中文描述 | 甲狀腺機能亢進症是貓內視鏡病理最常下的診斷。貓甲狀腺荷爾蒙分泌過多通常是因為腺瘤或腺瘤的增生，較少因為腺癌。擴大的甲狀腺可能在接近氣管的任何地方觸診到，從咽喉後到入胸處；在大約70％的病例兩側的甲狀腺葉都擴大。肥厚性心肌病可能導致心臟衰竭，可能伴隨甲狀腺機能亢進症。腺癌可能轉移。分辨良性和惡性需要靠身體檢查，胸腔放射線攝影，甲狀腺閃爍掃描，和手術探所以及生物檢驗。 |

| 英文描述 | Hyperthyroidism is the most frequently diagnosed feline endocrinopathy. Hypersecretion of thyroid hormone in cats is usually due to adenoma or adenomatous hyperplasia and is less often caused by adenocarcinoma. The enlarged thyroids can be palpated close to the trachea anywhere from just caudal to the larynx to the thoracic inlet; in about 70% of cases both thyroid lobes are enlarged. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which might lead to signs of heart failure can accompany hyperthyroidism. Adenocarcinomas can metastasize. Differentiation of benign from malignant causes requires physical examination, thoracic radiography, thyroid scintiscanning, and surgical exploration and biopsy. |
