Case Study
RAD – Generalized bronchointerstitial lung pattern, allergy vs infectious in a 8 year old F Flat Coated Retriever
DX
¥ Moderate generalized bronchointerstitial pattern ¥ No evidence of a malignancy
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.
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.
