Case Study
RADS – Pulmonary Osteomas and Pleural Plugs with Mild Degenerative Changes in a dog
Image Interpretation
right lateral, left lateral and VD thorax – Osseous structures: Overall mild degenerative changes were associated with the axial skeleton including a moderate spondylosis deformans T13/L1, degenerative new bone at the costochondral junctions and mild spondylarthroses.
Extrathoracic soft tissues: Within normal limits. The serosal detail was normal.
The liver was normal for size, shape and opacity.
The splenic head was within normal limits.
The stomach and visible parts of the colon and small intestine contained a small amount of gas.
Intrathoracic structures:
No abnormal widening of the esophagus was noted.
The course of the trachea was normal.
The cardiac silhouette was within normal limits. The major and pulmonary vessels were within normal limits.
There were multiple small and irregular shaped mineral opaque foci distributed throughout the lung parenchyma.
DX
The radiographs were within normal limits and negative for metastases. The mineral opaque foci associated with the lung are consistent with pulmonary osteomas and pleural plugs. Only mild degenerative changes of the axial skeleton were evident.
