Estradiol-17 beta-secreting adrenocortical tumor in a ferret

Abstract
Severe generalized alopecia and marked vulvar enlargement were observed in a 5-year-old spayed ferret with high serum estradiol concentrations. A neoplastic left adrenal gland was removed. Staining of the neoplastic cells for estradiol was demonstrated by use of immunohistochemistry. Clinical findings in this ferret were typical of adrenal-associated endocrinopathy, a syndrome characterized by increased secretion of adrenocortical hormones by hyperplastic or neoplastic adrenal glands.
