Abdominal mass

  • 8 yo FN GSD
  • Severe weight loss, tachypnoea, haemorrhagic/meleanic diarrhoea
  • Pleural effusion, abdominal effusion, hypoechoic nodules in liver and spleen, nodular omentum and mass caudal to stomach
  • I think this is a carcinomtosis and wondering what the mass caudal to the stomach is, pancdreas, transverse colon? There is not good penetration and in one area (arrowed), I think there is colonic wall layering.
  • Animal was PTS but I would like to learn from this case.

    Looks like  a large mineralized pancreatic mass which would fit with carcinomatosis as pancreas is the number one culprit for that.

  2. Very interesting, I have

    Very interesting, I have never seen this before. Why do they mineralise?

  4. It is associted with a drop

    It is associted with a drop in tissue pH, allowing calcium to precipitate out and hence mineralization.

  5. Nice Remo thanks… that will

    Nice Remo thanks… that will get my Nerd on! 🙂 I totally forgot the mechanism.
