  • Title: Unusual rib metastasis in two cats with pulmonary carcinoma.
    Author: Keenihan EK, Lynch S, Priestnall SL, Harrington NT, Benigni L, Lamb CR.
    Journal: J Feline Med Surg; 2013 Dec; 15(12):1145-8. PubMed ID: 23677935.
    Abstract:
    Two cats had chronic respiratory signs associated with pulmonary carcinoma. In each case, computed tomography demonstrated similar pulmonary masses, pleural fluid and osteolytic expansile rib lesions as a result of local costal spread. This is the first report of feline primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma with local spread to the ribs, causing osteolysis. Although pleural involvement is common with this neoplasm, local spread to ribs is rarely reported.
