Plain-English summary
A 14-year-old mongrel dog was diagnosed with a thyroid tumor and underwent surgery to remove it. The tumor was analyzed in detail to understand its characteristics better, confirming it was a type of thyroid cancer called follicular-compact carcinoma.

Abstract
The case of a 14-year-old mongrel dog with a thyroid tumor treated by thyreoidectomy is described. The resected tumor was subjected to a detailed morphological and immunohistochemical analysis utilizing antibodies directed against thyroglobulin, calcitonin, chromogranin A, cytokeratin 19, thyroid transcription factor-1, CD31, Ki-67 and minichromosome maintenance protein 3. Expression level of the above mentioned antigens allowed to characterize the resected tumor as thyroid follicular-compact carcinoma. Common application of immunohistochemistry may increase the diagnosis precision and efficacy of thyroid tumor treatment in dogs.
