- 10 year old male neutered lab, recent history of straining to defaecate, now not eating
- Plain abdominal xray showed displaced colon with bony material within it, thorax normal
- Bloods unremarkable
- Two masses around anus which feel deep seated and have been sampled, pending cytology
- The liver, spleen, kidneys and adrenals were normal

- There are large (6+ cm) heterogenous and cavitatory sublumbar lymph nodes but also another group of round hypoechoic structures (like a ring of sausages) which lie adjacent to colon and the most caudal one has a cavitatory centre. I don’t think are connected to anything…. are these also lymph nodes?
- The bladder is displaced cranially I think the prostate is small, hypoechoic and normal.
- I think the distal part of th colon becomes thickened.
- Can you make out the primary pathology? or could it be the masses around the anus?
- Any help much appreciated
- Sorry for long post
