Ultrasonographic appearance of canine gastric polyps.

摘要: Benign gastric polyps are uncommon in dogs and most discovered incidentally. Polyps protruding into the pyloric antrum can cause outflow obstruction. Clinical ultrasonographic findings seven with histologically confirmed benign mucosal were reviewed. Sonographic such as shape, size, echogenicity, location, evidence of wall thickening, layering, size regional lymph nodes recorded. Five sessile two pedunculated masses different sizes (range 7-60 mm) echogenicities found. They primarily arose from layer protruded lumen. Only one dog had a large inhomogeneous mass poorly visualized layering. The all single, located six out dogs. Although appearance allowed presumptive diagnosis polyp, final was determined histopathologic examination.
