A 7-year-old SF Labradoodle was presented for evaluation of lethargy, abdominal distension, and elevated respiratory and heart rate. Abnormalities on CBC and serum biochemistry were mild leukocytosis, hypoalbuminemia, and elevated ALP activity (181).
Splenic mass. FNAs of the splenic mass were performed without complication.
Deep left medial liver nodule. Hyperplasia versus metastatic lesion.
FNAs of the liver nodule were performed without complication.
The spleen revealed a mixed, hyperechoic mass that measured 6.3 x 5.9 cm at the cranial pole. Coalesced free fluid was noted associated with the splenic mass. Minor reactive surrounding fat was noted. A hyperechoic, right medial liver nodule measured 1.24 x 1.17 cm. This is most consistent with lipogranuloma. Left medial liver nodule was mildly echogenic and measured 1.66 x 1.61 cm. Neither nodule revealed disruption of architecture. The left medial liver nodule could represent a metastatic event. Mild, uniform hepatic swelling was noted. No significant hepatic lymphadenopathy was noted.
