Sample Ultrasound Report

Hospital: Mesquite Veterinary Hospital

Patient: Rusty

Date: 01/18/2006

Species: Feline

DOB: 06/01/1996

Fasted? yes

Owner:
Client Name
Client Address
City, State, Zip

Breed: DSH

Sex: Male, Neutered

Reason for Ultrasound: Anorexia, wt. loss, abdominal mass palpable and visible on radiographs.

Liver: The liver subjectively seemed enlarged with rounded margins. The liver was isoechogenic to the spleen and kidneys. The architecture of the liver appeared normal.

Gall Bladder: The gall bladder was normal in appearance and of moderate to small size.

Vascular: NSF

Stomach: NSF

Spleen: NSF

L. Kidney: NSF. The left kidney measured approx. 4.5 cm from pole to pole in the sagittal view, within normal limits.

R. Kidney: NSF. The right kidney measured approx. 4.5 cm from pole to pole in the sagittal view, within normal limits.

L. Adrenal: NSF

R. Adrenal: NSF

Urinary Bladder: NSF. The urinary bladder was moderately full.

Lymph Nodes: There appeared to to an enlarged LN, measuring approx. 1.5 cm in diameter, associated with the abdominal mass. No other enlarged LN's were noted.

UG: N/A

Small Intestine: The abdominal mass is associated with the small intestine. The affected segment of small intestine measured approx 3.0 cm in diameter and at least 7.0 cm in length. Small intestine leading into the affected segment is variably dilated but normal in architecture, suggesting partial obstruction. In the affected segment, the normal architecture is disrupted. Normal small intestine appeared to be leaving aborally from the affected segment. I was not able to connect the mass to the colon, suggesting it is jejunal in origin. Other parts of the small intestine were normal in structure and size.

Colon: NSF

Peritoneum: There was no free abdominal fluid visible.

Duodenum/Pancreas: NSF

FNA/Biopsy: FNA's were taken from the liver, the suspected enlarged LN and the mass.

Summary of Findings:

Abnormal findings included a subjectively enlarged liver, a small intestinal mass and a suspected enlarged LN closely associated with the abdominal mass. The likely R/O's for a subjectively enlarged liver with normal to slightly increased echogenicity include fatty infiltration due to hepatic lipidosis or diabetes mellitus and LSA. The liver may also be normal in spite of appearances. The abnormal findings associated with the intestinal mass are most commonly associated with carcinoma. Other R/O's include intestinal LSA, leiomyosarcoma and leiomyoma. Hopefully, the FNA's will help in the diagnosis. I did not see any signs suggesting intestinal perforation today.
