-US: atypical small intestinal layers with muscularis hypertrophy in all loops. No focal lesions. Enlarged lns, still fusiform, mildly hyperechoic. DDX: IBD vs low grade LSA (less likely). Suggested FNA or review and then FNA. Kidneys and Bladder appear normal…except:
– Between bladder neck (trigone-ureteric papillaes) and colon there is this fusiform structure that I cant quite define where it belongs. To me..it does not belong neither to bladder wall nor colonic wall…so the only thing I can thinck of is uterus??? Or…it might be a ureteric papillaes mass? any input? I would probably request owner to re-scan this patient again for the IBD so I will try again. And I will then use the high frequency, which I totally forgot to use this time…sigh!
