Pancreatic Mass

I would like your opinions.

Carl is a 11 1/2 year old DSH with a history of chronic vomiting/diarrhea and weight loss.

I recently did labs and they were normal except for an elevation of his Amylase and Lipase. A bit unusual in the cat. SPECfPL not done. He also had a grossly elevated Calcium. 

I suspect lymphoma.

Today I scanned him and found this large mass and cystic area in the region of the L horn of the pancreas.

I am posting 1 still and 2 cine’s.

My questions:

1. Is this mass actually pancreas?

2. What are the chances of this being something other than a malignancy.

 

I have FNA pending.

 

Thanks

yes very suspect for panc

yes very suspect for panc carcinoma, 25 g in the parenchymal part should diff it from pronounced nodular hyperplasia or pancreatitis/necriosis but solid blood flow so less likely having necrosius as the main part.

Here’s a similar case from the search with the fluid component that can occur.
