Dear Staci:
> It was Adrenal cancer and it was Carcinomic(sp).
>The Dr. that looked at it said that there was absolutely NO Kidney tissue left, it was all tumor. Good news....There was no tumor in his spleen. Bad news is of course he is no longer here. My vet said that it was a really aggressive tumor.
While metastasis of adrenal gland tumors is rare, occasionally aggressive tumor may metastasize. Liver is the usual place they go, but with aggressive tumors, they can break off from the parent mass and travel to other organs through the blood vessels.
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, DVM
