애완 페렛의 부신질환은 우리 나라에서도 많이 접하게 되는 질병이다. 하지만 아직 페렛의 부신질환에 대한 연구가 우리나라에서는 이뤄지지 않고 그 실태 보고도 없는 상태이다. 그러므로 본 연구는 부신절제술을 실시한 48마리의 페렛을 대상으로 국내 애완 페렛의 부신질환 발생상황을 알아보고자 하였다. 부신 질환이 있는 애완 페렛은 주로 3~5년령에 다발하였으며, 중성화한 암컷에서 58.3%의 높은 발생을 보였다. 부신질환은 왼쪽 부신 72.9%, 오른쪽 부신 10.4%, 양쪽 부신에 16.7% 있었으며, 초음파상에서 부신크기(길이 *두께)는 왼쪽 부신 8.96 * 5.08 mm, 오른쪽 부신 12.91 * 8.26 mm 로 나타났다. Alopecia가 82.2%로 주요 임상증상이었고 vulvar swelling은 암컷중 32.1%에서 나타났으며, 주된 병발질환으로 renal cyst 29.2%, splenomegaly 25%를 보였다. 조직학적 소견에서 pheochromocytoma, adenoma, hyperplasia 가 각각 44.7%, 14.9%, 12.8% 이었다. 수술후 생존률은 1년과 2년에서 각각 87.5%, 74.0% 였으며, alopecia 및 vulvar swelling은 각각 수술후 평균 3.4개월 및 평균 12일경에 개선되었다.

Retroperitoneal teratoma was described in a 20-month-old intact female ferret (Mustela putorius furo). Retroperitoneal mass about $8{\times}5$ cm in size was surgically removed and histopathologic examination was performed. Grossly, on cross section of the mass, the consistency was soft to firm and contained several cystic structures which are filled with dried keratinous material. Histologically, the retroperitoneal mass consisted of embryologically heterogeneous tissues that include skin, bone and cartilage, adipose tissue, respiratory epithelium, and exocrine pancreatic tissue. Based on the characteristic histologic features of the mass, a diagnosis of retroperitoneal teratoma was made. Adrenal gland or ovary was suspected as the origin of the tumor.

A 2-year-old spayed female ferret with the clinical signs of diarrhea and anorexia for about 8 days was presented to Hansung animal hospital. The diarrhea was black and paste form. Three palpable abdominal masses were detected in physical examination. By cytologic examination using fine need aspiration, the patient was tentatively diagnosed as lymphoma. Chemotherapy was started with prednisone, vincristine and cyclophosphamide. However, the client requested stopping the therapy at day 18 and the ferret was euthanized. Autopsy was performed and the masses were confirmed as lymphoma by histopathology. Microscopically, the mass consisted of unencapsulated and infiltrative neoplasm consisted of closely packed monomorphic round cells and also ininvasive lesions observed in duodenum. On the higher magnification, pleomorphic neoplastic cells with distinct cell border and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm were observed. Finally, the ferret diagnosed as alimentary lymphoma.

A female domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) presented to a veterinary clinic with a clinical history of anorexia and poor body condition. Due to gradual deterioration of the body condition, explorative laparotomy was performed. Diffusely, the mesentery was severely thickened and adhered with prominent mesenteric lymph nodes. A portion of the mesentery and mesenteric lymph nodes were biopsied and fixed. Microscopic analysis revealed severe pyogranulomatous peritonitis and lymphadenitis, but staining revealed no bacterial organisms. However, immunohistochemistry for feline coronavirus exhibited strong immunoreactivity, primarily in the macrophages. Based on these results, the case was diagnosed as ferret coronavirus infection.

Chordoma was described in the tail masses of two ferrets. Tail masses were surgically removed and submitted for diagnosis. On histopathology, the masses from both ferrets were almost similar each other. The mass was well-demarcated and composed of lobules or sheets of neoplastic cells. The neoplastic cells were round to polygonal with distinct cell border and contained marginally located round nucleus. The cytoplasm of neoplastic cells was highly vacuolated. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were positive to cytokerain, vimentin, and S-100. Based on these results, both cases were diagnosed as chordoma in ferrets. Recurrence was not noted since surgery.

A 7 years old, female and neutered ferret (Mustela putorius furo) was presented to local animal hospital due to lethargy, anorexia and hypothermia. Radiography, ultrasonography and blood test were performed. On the basis of clinical signs and tests, this case was presumed to be lymphoma. In consideration of this ferret's condition, chemotherapy was carried out for the treatment. However, the ferret died a few days. After necropsy, metastatic tumors were observed over abdomen. All tumors were packed with homologous lymphocytes with pleomorphic changes and numerous mitotic figures. Consequently, this masses were diagnosed as B-cell gastrointestinal lymphoma, which were negative for CD3 on immunohistochemistry.
