Tumors of adrenal and thyroid glands have been associated with vascular invasions—so-called tumor thrombi, both in humans and dogs. The detection and characterization of venous thrombi is an important diagnostic step in patients with primary tumors for both surgical planning and prognosis. The aim of this study was to describe the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) for the characterization of tumor thrombi. Dogs with tumor thrombus who underwent bi-dimensional ultrasound (B-mode US) and CEUS were included. Seven dogs were enrolled in this retrospective case series. On B-mode US, all thrombi were visualized, and vascular distension and thrombus-tumor continuity were seen in three and two cases, respectively. On color Doppler examination, all thrombi were identified, seemed non-occlusive and only two presented vascularity. On CEUS, arterial-phase enhancement and washout in the venous phase were observed in all cases. Non-enhancing areas were identified in the tumor thrombi most likely representing non-vascularized tissue that could potentially be embolized in the lungs after fragmentation of the tumor thrombi. On the basis of these preliminary study, CEUS appeared to be useful for the characterization of malignant intravascular invasion.

Objective Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEU) has been used in critical trauma situations to visualize extravasation; however, its use is limited in the field of obstetrics. Cases of ruptured uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) were analyzed to clarify the efficacy to CEU during uterine balloon tamponade. Methods Cases of ruptured UAP diagnosed at a teaching university hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. UAP was diagnosed using color Doppler ultrasonography. Extravasation was identified using computed tomography and double checked using CEU with an intravenously administered contrast agent (Sonazoid; Daiichi Sankyo Company, Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) and an ultrasound instrument (HI VISION Preirus; Hitachi Aloka Medical, Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). A balloon was then inserted into the uterine cavity and inflated at the point of bleeding until extravasation ceased. Results Three patients exhibited ruptured UAP during the study period. Bleeding points were successfully identified using CEU in all cases, and hemostasis was achieved using uterine balloon tamponade. Obliteration of UAP was confirmed using magnetic resonance imaging, and no patients developed recurrent UAP or any complications. Conclusion CEU can be used at the bedside to promptly diagnose ruptured UAP. Moreover, it precisely facilitates balloon compression at the point of bleeding.
