DX

Uterine lymphoma.

Outcome

Ultrasound-guided FNA was recommended to assess for potential chemo responsiveness. There was no obvious
evidence of metastatic disease. Three view chest radiographs and ideally CT of the pelvis would be indicated. A guarded prognosis was given. The patient underwent surgery for resection of the mass and went for an oncology consultation for possible chemotherapy options.

Comments

A special thanks to Andi Parkinson, RDMS of IntraPet Imaging for scanning this case and providing great images. This case was managed by Dr. Rob Weeren of Chesapeake Veterinary Specialists.

Sonographic Differential Diagnosis

Uterine stump base mass invading into the pelvic inlet.

Image Interpretation

A pelvic mass was noted in this patient and largely vascular measuring 4.3 x 6.0 cm.
Periosteal pelvic reactivity was noted. A cystic component was also noted with this
mass. This is strongly suggestive for sarcoma or similar.
