Liver Fine Needle Aspirate
Hello, I’ve had 3 Livers USG- FNB nondiagnostic. All cats with diffuse Hyperechoic liver that I’ve suspected Hep. Lipidosis vs Lymphoma/other. I do look at microscope to assure samples good enough to send. All these samples have only blood on it with very few to no hepatocytes. I’m using a 23 G 1.5 inch attached…
Pyloric hypertrophy?
Hello, I’m trying to understand what’s going on on this 8 year old Schnauzer M/N ( beside the pancreatitis). He came in with acute episode of vomiting. Bloodwork supports pancreatitis. Is the pylorus abnormal or is it just me. Also there is a large structure which I think it’s part of the pancreas but…

Pancreatitis chronic
Coco is a 10 year old Daschund F/S with chronic intermittent pain episodes. Her abdominal US showed an hyperechoic pancreas with reactive onmentum. She was treated for pancreatitis with some improvment but she needs some pain meds otherwise she’s not OK ( only low fat diet doesn’t do it..). Wondering if this can be neoplastic…
hypoechoic spleen head?
Snowball is a7 year old M/N DSH wich is icteric with high ALT . PCV is 17 %. I think the icterus is pre-hepatic (liver has no lesions except moderatelly hypoechoic, GB, CBD normal) and suspect Mycoplasma Felis or Lymphoma. However found moderatelly enlarged splenic and portal LN’s and again mild hypoechoic left pancreatic limb consistent with…
Splenic mass and pancreatitis
Sounder is an 11 year old F/S Border collie that came for ADR. Bloodwork normal except azotemia ( suspect prerenal) X-rays showed splenic mass effect. However when we did the US we confirmed splenic tumor but also suspect left limb pancreatitis. Wondering if splenic tumor was incidental findings and her pancreatitis is the “main” problem?…

Adrenal tumor ( Pheocromocytoma?)
Found this left adrenal tumor ( originating from cranial pole). Was afraid to poke it. Does it resemble Pheo? RDVM didn’t check the BP. On exam was 175-Systolic. If Phecromocytoma can bleed and cause arhytmia, right? If sx not an option would Mitotane be an alternative or to extensive to respond?The right Adr was normal….
