13y FS Poodle cross with previous diagnosis of mammary carcinoma. Pulmonary nodules were detected during a recent thoracic radio-
graphic examination. CT images are ordered from cranial to caudal. Multiple soft‐tissue attenuating pulmonary nodules ranging from
1–6 mm in diameter are distributed throughout all lung lobes (a–c). There is a focal region in the ventral aspect of the right hemithorax,
in which nodules appear to coalesce (a,b: arrowheads). Postmortem examination confirmed widespread pulmonary metastasis of
mammary adenocarcinoma.
