A 13-year-old, spayed, female mixed breed dog that had previously undergone mastectomy and ovariohysterectomy was referred for evaluation of metastasis after surgery. F-deoxy-2-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) was performed and a soft-tissue mass was observed in the abdominal cavity. The characteristics of the abdominal mass were assessed and screening for metastasis was done with follow-up 18F-FDG PET scans. Uptake of F-deoxy-2-D-glucose was higher in the peripheral region and lower in the center of the abdominal mass. Exploratory laparotomy was performed, and the removed abdominal mass was consistent with a gossypiboma, which is a retained surgical sponge composed of non-absorbable material with cotton matrix. This case report describes the characteristics of 18F-FDG PET-CT imaging in a dog with an abdominal gossypiboma, which has not been reported in the veterinary literature before.
一只13岁已绝育的雌性混血犬，之前接受过乳房切除术和卵巢子宫切除术，术后因评估转移情况前来就诊。进行了氟脱氧-2-D-葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（18F-FDG PET-CT），结果在腹腔内发现一个软组织肿块。对腹腔肿块的特征进行了评估，并通过后续的18F-FDG PET扫描进行转移筛查。腹腔肿块外周区域的氟脱氧-2-D-葡萄糖摄取较高，而中心区域较低。实施了剖腹探查术，切除的腹腔肿块经诊断为医用海绵瘤，它是一种由含棉基质的不可吸收材料构成的残留手术海绵。本病例报告描述了一只患有腹腔医用海绵瘤犬的18F-FDG PET-CT成像特征，此前兽医文献中尚未有过相关报道。
