ASPETTI ECOGRAFICI DELLE NEOFORMAZIONI VESCICALI NEL CANE E NEL GATTO

The data of 26 ultrasound examinations suggestive for diagnosis of urinary bladder neoplasia were selected and reclassified on basis of anatomopathological diagnosis in two group: group A (primary urinary bladder neoplasms) and group B (non-neoplastic diseases or non-primary urinary bladder neoplasms). Site envolvment, dimensions, ultrasonographic features, vascularization and regional lymph-nodes of the two groups were than revalued. The two groups showed pathological features detectable with ultrasound imaging which resulted a useful instrument in differentiating urinary bladder neoplasm from chronic cystitis or secondary organ involvement from tumors otherwhere localized.
