To determine whether presumed residual thymic tissue is also a common incidental finding in adult dogs, a two part\u2010study was performed. The first part was a prospective, descriptive design where CT examination was performed in six canine cadavers within 24\u00a0h after death and presumed residual thymic tissue was examined pathologically. The second part of the study was a retrospective, analytical design where medical records of our institution were searched for thoracic CT scans of adult dogs performed in the year 2020. Age, sex, breed, presence of presumed thymic tissue, location, shape, attenuation, homogeneity, and width of the tissue were recorded and comparisons were performed using these data. In 4 of 6 of the prospective cases, thymic tissue was present on histology and in 2 of 6 dogs the presence of thymic tissue could not be confirmed. For the retrospective study, in 161\/169 (95.3%) cases with presumed residual thymic tissue were detected. Shape and size were highly variable with either homogeneous (46.6%), heterogeneous (42.9%), or mixed (10.6%) attenuation. Dogs with presumed residual thymic tissue were significantly younger (median: 9.1 years; range: 1.2\u201314.3 vs. median: 10.5 years; range: 9.4\u201312.3) as were dogs with homogeneous attenuation of the tissue (median: 8.1 years; range: 1.2\u201314.3 vs. median: 9.5 years; range: 4.0\u201314.3). In conclusion, results indicated that presumed residual thymic tissue is a common CT finding\u00a0in adult dogs and can be considered incidental.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.13302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]],"date-time":"2023-10-18T09:49:40Z","timestamp":1697622580000},"page":"1015-1024","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Presumed residual thymic tissue is a common finding in thoracic computed tomography in adult dogs"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"64","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1630-4802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Siemone C.","family":"Vester","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Clinical Sciences Utrecht University  Utrecht the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wilhelmina","family":"Bergmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Biomolecular Health Sciences Utrecht University  Utrecht the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dirk H.
