– 4 year old obese FS DSH presented with history of chronic vomiting and painful cranial abdomen
– blood work and survery rads unremarkable
– US shows a uniformly echogenic mass in the lumen of the pylorus right at the pyloro-duodenal junction with positive blood flow on power and colour Doppler; no obstructive pattern in rest of stomach
– the mass appears to be attached by a stalk from the ventral pyloric wall
Could this be an adenomatous gastric polyp?
Gastroscopy vs gastrotomy were discussed as next steps

Could be a gastric polyp
Could be a gastric polyp although primary gastric neoplasia is also possible. Gastrotomy bettter as the mass may be ameniable to resection.
