    Author: Dillberger JE, Homer B, Daubert D, Altman NH.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1988 Jun 01; 192(11):1557-9. PubMed ID: 3410772.
    Abstract:
    Protothecosis was diagnosed in 2 cats from Florida with nodular skin lesions. Microscopically, lesions were composed of macrophages and multinucleated giant cells arranged in solid sheets in the dermis and subcutis. In both cats, characteristic algal endospores identified as Prototheca wickerhamii were observed within the cytoplasm of infiltrating cells.
