- 10 year old male neutered YST with pyrexia and upset stomach
- Pancreatitis seen on scan
- But also a very enlarged prostate with a hypoechoic mass lesion, pinpoint mineralisation and surrounding reactivity. The sublumbar lymph nodes were very mildly enlarged. I advised sampling but vet is first going to manage pancreatitis.
- I could not see any testicular tissue to account for enlarged prostate/prostatitis.
