Case Study
04_00434 Cleo M Colonic mass
Sonographic Differential Diagnosis
Proximal colonic wall thickening with regional lymphadenopathy.
Early infiltrative splenic pattern. This is suggestive for multicentric lymphoma or similar round cell neoplasia. Guarded prognosis.
Granulomatous intestinal disease or FIP is also possible with reactive spleen.
Image Interpretation
The gastrointestinal tract revealed an intestinal mass at the ileocecal valve. This appeared to be proximal colon. FNAs were performed without complication. Regional lymphadenopathy was also noted.
The spleen was enlarged and micronodular measuring 1.15 cm.
