Abdominal mass

Sonopath Forum

  • 12 year old MN overweight Labrador presented one week ago after found collapsed in garden, had a tachyarrhythmia
  • Received surrportive treatment and recovered
  • Cardiac exam normal today and mass found in abdomen. Mass seen best when dog was in left lateral recumbency and scanning right side caudodorsal abdomen. It was hypoechoic with surrounding reactive fat, irregular in contour and appeared to originate from large intestine, or displace it. Do you think this is an intestinal mass or lymph node?

    • No other lymph node enlargement. I suspect lymphoma and hope to aspirate if owner agrees.

Its hard to tell if the mass

Its hard to tell if the mass is invading the colon wall or if the mass is originating from the colon. If I had to guess, I would say its originating from the colon as it looks to be definitvely associated with the colon wall. Also, there is a small hypoechoic mural lesion on the other side of the colon you can see about halfway through the second video. This may suggest more the one location for the probable neoplasia and may also complicate any surgical options. 

I also suspect lymphoma. Let me know what the FNA says if done.

its very undifferentiated and

its very undifferentiated and its spider webbing into the mesentery so i think its a needle and chemo thing. Lsa or similar likely.
