Gastric/pyloric abnormality

-11 year old neutered male Dachshund, evaluated for PU/PD

-right adrenal mass, non-specific focal abdominal inflammation near pancreas (but pancreas looked fine), and bilateral pyelectasia noted

-Incidental finding of this area in the attached images at the pylorus, what is it?

-Pet went to an internist and was scanned again, they did not see a gastric abnormality.  Do you?

Thanks!

It looks like something liminal to me. Not really disrupting wall. Layering looks fine. May be it’s food…?
Let’s see what the specialists say…

Nice shot of the PDJ – I have seen carrots have a similar appearance? Any chance the pet has been getting into things or the owners feeding veggies?

Carrot!   I like that idea, no idea if that’s likely.

I figured it was incidental and may be luminal but it just had a strange appearance.

 

Thanks!

it swallowed a mucocele:)… has a kiwi type appearance but looks luminal. You can power doppler these to see if vascular and if so its tissue… non vascular its luminal… counting the layers of the wall it looks like its luminal

I tried Doppler but there was too much motion to convince me either way.  Likely luminal but just looked weird.  Thanks!

No history of vomiting.

It does look like a carrot. Funny I also thought he swallowed a mucocele :).

Probably gone by the time the internest did the ultrasound.
