Abstract

One dog and a cat with a history of diarrhea, anorexia and depression were referred. They showed normal laboratory examination results. Radiographic findings included a mid abdominal mass with ill-defined margin and serosal detail loss of peritoneal space. On abdominal ultrasonography, the round mass with heterogenous parenchymal echogenicty with irregular contour was found. It revealed as inflammation through ultrasound guide fine needle aspiration. After surgical removal of the masses in both cases, the clinical signs were resolved and focal pyogranuloma was confirmed through histopathologic examinations.

몇 일간 설사, 식욕부진 활력감소를 주 증상으로 보이는 개와 고양이가 내원하였다. 신체검사, 혈액검사와 더불어 영상학적 검사가 진행되었다. 복부 방사선 사진상 둥근 연부조직 밀도를 보이는 종괴가 중복부에서 확인 되었고 이는 복부 초음파 검사상 이질적 에코를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 세포학적 검사를 통해 염증으로 확인되었고, 수술적 제거 후 임상증상은 개선되었다. 조직 병리학적 검사 결과 육아종증 또는 호산구성 염증으로 확인되었다.
