I have limited experience with MSK US. Was wondering if you see any abnormalities on the posted clip. And if yes, would you recommend FNA or Biopsy for histo, to rule out HGS/ other Lymphatic neoplasia or conservative treatment with Rutin?

Thank you,

Calin

Very moth eaten spleen

Very moth eaten spleen

The limb has a non specific long standing edema pattern with sc and cutaneous swelling 

I would definitely sample the spleen (& liver) and the popliteal node. The node unfortunately most of the times come back as reactive even in the lymphoma cases. So a negative cyto doesnt really help but its a chance to prove LSA if positive

Mast cell does weird things

Nice! That’s what I thought.

Nice! That’s what I thought. So FNA of the swelling, leg is not worth it especially because I don’t see a definitive lesion. Only Spleen, Liver and popliteal .

Thank you Drs. Ondreka and  EL
