12y M Golden Retriever with hypercalcemia. There is a hypoechoic nodule seen in the cranial pole of the left thyroid lobe on ultrasound
(a: calipers). On MR imaging, the mass is isointense on T1 images and hyperintense on T2 images (c: white arrow) within the thyroid
gland (c: black arrows). The histologic diagnosis was documented on postmortem examination.
