Hello
This is Phoebe a 10 year old Bichon with vomting and diarrhea that will not resolve with aggressive treatments.
We Performed an abd US and found a mass caudal to the stomach with the same echogenicity as the spleen. We traced it in every direction and could not get it to connect. On the first image I belive I can see the pancreas ventral to the spleen, and ventral to the splenic vein connect with this mass.
This is the proper location for the pancreas. It appears as though there is a duct within the mass as it does not has blood flow.

I was hoping for some insight on whether this is the pancreas. If it is, what would be the suspected pathology of a pancreas with this echogenicity.
Thanks. Brent

Well I clearly see normal
Well I clearly see normal pancreatic tissue on your third video (see attached screen shot) and that structure caudal to it sure looks like spleen… maybe an accessory spleen and its curvilinear as if its supposed to be there… accessory spleen? I’ve seen them before but not this developed. When in doubt put a needle in it:) I would go 25g fna on this but I dont think its pancreas because its capsule is distinctly separate from the panc but its overlying the pancreas
Accessory spleen, double gall
Accessory spleen, double gall bladder!!!
i can’t believe the things I’ve seen or heard of here!
Thanks so much! Very glad I’m a member!
