  • Title: Ultrasonographic features of splenic lymphosarcoma in dogs: 12 cases (1980-1986).
    Author: Wrigley RH, Konde LJ, Park RD, Lebel JL.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1988 Dec 15; 193(12):1565-8. PubMed ID: 3063705.
    Abstract:
    The ultrasonographic appearance of the spleen and adjacent organs in 12 dogs with splenic lymphosarcoma was reviewed. Poorly marginated hypoechoic to anechoic nodules (4 mm to 3 cm in diameter) were found in all dogs. The anechoic nodules did not result in reflective shadowing or acoustic enhancement of the underlying tissues. The remainder of the splenic parenchyma appeared relatively hypoechoic when compared with the liver or renal cortices in 9 dogs. Recognition of this ultrasonographic pattern appears to be a useful diagnostic tool. Needle aspiration guided ultrasonographically will then enable histologic confirmation of lymphosarcoma.
