  • Title: Multimodality imaging characteristics of tension pyopneumothorax secondary to pulmonary carcinoma in a cat.
    Author: Kim J, Yoon H, Kim S, Eom K.
    Journal: Vet Radiol Ultrasound; 2019 Jul; 60(4):E42-E47. PubMed ID: 28967190.
    Abstract:
    A 3-year-old Himalayan cat was presented with respiratory distress. Radiography showed multiple gas opacity foci, with the locations dependent on patient positioning, and severe pleural effusion with a contralateral mediastinal shift. A large volume of fluid and air was aspirated, and the fluid components were consistent with a nonseptic exudate. A pulmonary mass, pleural nodules, and an air-fluid interface with air bubbles trapped in fibrous septations were identified using thoracic ultrasonography and CT. The cat died 2 days after imaging studies. Necropsy revealed tension pyopneumothorax caused by pulmonary carcinoma and multiple pleural metastases.
