10 year old FS DSH with chronic vomiting and weight loss
Blood work is pending
Immediately dorsal to the descending duodenum are strongly hypoechoic elliptical structures with adjacent reactive echogenic fat. In some views, it looks like pancreas. In other views, they more closely resemble reactive lymph nodes. FNA’s were not allowed. What do you think?
Rest of abdominal US showed diffuse, echogenic fat adjacent to the small intestine, slightly thickened GB wall, and mild renal degenerative changes.

Comments
These are all mesenteric LN
These are all mesenteric LN …length to width ratio suggests reactive instead of neoplastic and there is bright inflamed fat. If you fna then be sure to culture for bad bugs.
