+==Introduction==
 Glucagonomas are very rare tumours of the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that produce the hormone glucagon without appropriate regulation.  The excessive secretion of glucogon is a form of topic paraneoplastic syndrome.  The disease has been reported in approximately ten dogs and it is therefore extremely rare.
@@ Line 39: / Line 38: @@
 The prognosis is generally poor as the tumour has usually metastasised by the time it is diagnosed.

 ===Laboratory Tests===
-Affected animals often develop '''hypergylcaemia''' due to the effects of glucagon and it may be difficult to differentiate the disease from simple diabetes mellitus.  Glycosuria may also be detected.
+Affected animals often develop '''hyperglycaemia''' due to the effects of glucagon and it may be difficult to differentiate the disease from simple diabetes mellitus.  Glycosuria may also be detected.
 Excessive concentrations of glucagon are thought to increase the rate at which amino acids are converted to urea in the liver, reducing the '''plasma concentrations of amino acids'''.
@@ Line 29: / Line 29: @@
 ===Pathology===
-A definitive diagnosis is made by performing '''immunohistochemistry''' on pancreatic biopsy samples to detect an expanded population of glucagon-secreting alpha cells.  The tumours are often large at the time of disgnosis (>5 centimetres in diameter) and they frequently metastasise to the liver or local lymph nodes.  Vacuolar hepatopathy may be observed on histopathological analysis of liver biopsies.
