Ultrasound, CT and FDG PET-CT of a Duodenal Granuloma in aDog

[摘要] References(23)A 12-year-old spayed femaleYorkshire Terrier with intermittent vomiting was diagnosed with regional granulomatousenteritis through histopathological examination. On ultrasonography and computedtomography, a focal thickened duodenal wall showed a mass-like appearance with indistinctwall layers. Marked uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose was observed from the masson positron emission tomography-computed tomography. Regional granulomatous enteritis is arare form of inflammatory bowel disease and may have imaging features similar tointestinal tumors. This is the first study describing the diagnostic imaging features ofultrasonography, computed tomography and positron emission tomography-computed tomographyfor regional granulomatous enteritis in a dog.
