– 11 yr old FS Golden Ret presented for an acute onset of epistaxis; no other symptoms
– bloodwork ALP 921 (5-160), ALT 200 (18-121) all else including CBC and platelet count wnl; LDDST wnl
– PT/PTT pending
– left liver lobe (lateral lobe?) mass on u/s which is hypoechoic to the rest of the liver (good spot for surgical removal)
– core biospy of liver scheduled pending PT/PTT results
Differentials for mass? Would it be best to biopsy the mass and the rest of the liver?

Comments
It looks left medial and ony
It looks left medial and ony minor deviation from normal architecture. Im betting on hepatoma and needs removal to prevent torsion. Maybe carcinoma low grade but would likely need core bx to differentiate adequately.
Thank-you EL – will see what
