Title: Dyspnoea and pulmonary consolidation in a cat with T-cell lymphoma. Author: Brown AL, Beatty JA, Nicoll RG, Knight T, Krockenberger MB, Barrs VR. Journal: J Feline Med Surg; 2011 Oct; 13(10):772-5. PubMed ID: 21723172. Abstract: A 13-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat presented with an acute onset of dyspnoea. Thoracic radiographs revealed marked, bilateral, caudal lung lobe consolidation. A diagnosis of anatomically mixed T-cell lymphoma with pulmonary, renal and alimentary involvement was confirmed on histopathology. Pulmonary involvement in cases of feline lymphoma is uncommon and the radiographic appearance of pulmonary lymphoma is highly variable. Lung lobe consolidation has been described with primary lung tumours in cats, but not previously in association with pulmonary lymphoma. This unusual presentation serves to alert practitioners to the possibility of lymphoma as a cause of severe bronchopulmonary disease in the cat.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
