    • Scan showed thickened stomach wall especially muscularis layer of body/pylorus with hyperechoic speckling, mild steatitis, lymphadenopathy caudal to stomach, mild pancreatic enlargement with microhepatic, increased portal markings etc on liver, very small amount of ascites
    • Is this stomach picture typical of any disease process and do you think it related to hepatitis?
    • Also would you be concerned about B lines in lungs across diaphragm interface?
    • Thanks in advance

I don’t like the hepatic LN

I don’t like the hepatic LN that are enlarged but may be from the liver disease. panc LN in video 1 is up which is concerning. Gastritis likely which happens with liver disease often. No loss of mural detail but linear striations in the muscularis and muscularis hypertrophy and thich submucosa … clinical significance still up in there air on those striations. I would consider gastritis til proven otherwise. If not responding then sample. Shooping spree of surgical bx would be ideal here stomach and regional LN.
