This 10-year-old FS Boxer had originally been presented for a routine screening for a dental prophylaxis procedure. The physical exam had been normal at that time. However, due to mildly elevated amylase and lipase on the preanesthetic screening, a sonogram. A left limb pancreatic mass (6 cm diameter) had been reported, but initially sampling had been declined by the owner. The images presented here were taken 4 months later, after abdominal palpation now revealed a thickening in the mid-abdomen.

Repeat blood analysis revealed moderately elevated amylase and lipase without other significant findings. The CBC was normal. Weight loss was not reported.
