Figure 4.3.6 Tracheobronchial Lymphadenopathy (Canine) CT
7y MC Border Collie with cough and previ­
ously diagnosed hilar lymphadenopathy.
The right (a,d: arrowhead), left (a,b,d: small
arrow), and central (c,d: large arrow) tracheo­
bronchial lymph nodes are enlarged and
moderately contrast enhance. The lymph
nodes were large enough to cause bronchial
compression, which is best seen at the origin
of the right mainstem bronchus in image d.
A bronchoalveolar lavage revealed marked
inflammation with chronic hemorrhage, but a
definitive cause for the tracheobronchial lym­
phadenopathy was not determined.
