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.
一只 13 岁已绝育的雄性拉戈托罗马阁诺犬因进行性腹泻和食欲减退而到急诊就诊,超声和计算机断层扫描检查发现肠气肿。进一步的检查诊断为多中心淋巴瘤,并开始化疗。淋巴瘤的临床缓解与随后的计算机断层扫描成像上肠气肿的消退同时发生。关键临床信息:在排除手术急症原因后,如果在肠气肿病例中发现肿瘤等潜在病理,应考虑相关病因。
