Knowledge of clinico-pathological correlations in canine Cushing's disease is rather poor. Therefore we describe, clinically and pathologically, a case of pituitary tumour-dependent Cushing's disease in an 8-year old female cocker spaniel. Based on our results, the tumour was defined as a non-dexamethasone-suppressive, corticotrophic adenocarcinoma characterized by some new findings such as intracerebral metastases of anti-ACTH-labelled tumour cells and combined alpha-, beta- and gamma 3-MSH immunoreactivity in the tumour.
