Presence of pneumatosis intestinalis in a dog with multicentric lymphoma
1Small Animal Specialist Hospital Sydney, 1 Richardson Place, North Ryde, NSW 2113, Australia.
Abstract:
A 13-year-old neutered male Lagotto Romagnolo dog had ultrasonographic and computed tomographic findings of pneumatosis intestinalis after presentation to the emergency department because of progressive diarrhea and hyporexia. Further investigations produced a diagnosis of multicentric lymphoma, and treatment with chemotherapy was commenced. Clinical remission of lymphoma was achieved and coincided with resolution of pneumatosis intestinalis on subsequent computed tomographic imaging. Key clinical message: Consider underlying pathology such as neoplasia in cases of pneumatosis intestinalis after excluding surgical emergent causes.
