Abstract
Three miniature dachshund dogs were presented with chronic gastrointestinal upset including vomiting and diarrhea. In these patients, abdominal masses were detected on abdominal palpation. Computed tomography revealed that two and one patients had, respectively, multiple and solo formations of abdominal masses demonstrated as follows: (1) irregular margin of the mass (2) uniformity of contrast enhancement over all areas of the mass; (3) and maintenance of small intestinal lumen even if embedded by the mass. In all three patients, these abdominal masses were removed by laparotomy, and were pathologically diagnosed as a granuloma. These specific findings on computed tomographic images of abdominal granuloma will be useful for the diagnosis.
