Case Study
RAD – Generalized bronchointerstitial lung pattern, allergy vs infectious in a 8 year old F Flat Coated Retriever
Image Interpretation
Rads of the thorax – The lung reveals a moderate generalized bronchointerstitial pattern with thin walled mineralized bronchi. Multifocal pulmonary osteomas are seen which is an age related incidental finding.
DX
¥ Moderate generalized bronchointerstitial pattern ¥ No evidence of a malignancy
Outcome
Consider normal geriatric changes versus allergic or infectious (viral, and unlikely bacterial/fungal) bronchitis. If the patient remains refractory to empirical therapy tracheobronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage should be considered for furtehr definition.
