– 18 year old MN DSH with history of GI signs and anorexia

– previously ultrasound performed several months ago consistent with IBD vs lymphoma GI pattern (no biopsy done)

– rDVM took recent chest radiographs due to concern of inappetence and was concerned about possible mediastinal mass; no resp signs  noted

– abdominal u/s still consistent with GI IBD vs lymphoma pattern

– abdominal u/s still consistent with GI IBD vs lymphoma pattern

– a distinct  mass was not found in the mediastinum on ultrasound however several lung-rockets or comet-tail artifacts were seen in the cranial lung lobes; no LAE; no pleural or pericardial effusion

– caudal lung lobes normal with no lung rockets and normal glide sign

– the heart and aorta on x-ray to me look like old cat heart findings

– what may be the significance of the lung rockets in the cranial lung? interstitial disease – fluid, inflammatory cells, neoplasia?
