Lung Disease

Sonopath Forum

– 14 year old MN DLH history of wheezing according to the referring DVM

– was treated for bronchial airway disease with, antibitoics steroids and bronchodilators but not responding

–  rDVM did chest rads and worried about subtle changes in the lungs but x-rays very poor quality

– scan showed a “target-like” hypoechoic nodule under 1cm in diameter and the sliding lung interface looks quite scalloped to me

– lung rockets apear to be present so interstital edema? possibly a small amount of effusion is present as well

– CHF unlikely due to normal LA/Ao

So what do you think of these lungs? I suspect this is neoplasia.The pet was quite dyspenic for the exam.

Metastatic vs primary

Metastatic vs primary neoplasia, thromboembolic consolidation, pneumonitis, fungal if in region. I would check th eabdomen for a primary first then fna the hypoechoic lung lesion when sedated the window opens up further.
