A cat with a nasal mass was diagnosed with fungal infection phaeohyphomycosis. Surgical removal was successful, with no recurrence after 21 months, marking a novel case in UK domestic animals.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Mycology
  • Feline Pathology

Background:

  • Chronic, progressive subcutaneous masses in domestic animals can present diagnostic challenges.
  • Fungal infections, particularly phaeohyphomycosis, are increasingly recognized in veterinary medicine.

Observation:

  • A 10-year-old domestic shorthaired cat presented with a slowly enlarging nasal subcutaneous mass causing severe airflow obstruction.
  • Previous medical management with itraconazole was partially effective but led to hepatotoxicity.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the nasal mass allowed for histopathological and mycological diagnosis.
  • The mass was identified as granulomatous cellulitis caused by the fungus Alternaria alternata (phaeohyphomycosis).
  • This represents the first reported case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis by A. alternata in a small domestic animal in the United Kingdom.

Implications:

  • Surgical intervention can be a definitive treatment for localized subcutaneous fungal infections in cats.
  • This case expands the known spectrum of fungal pathogens affecting domestic animals in the UK.
  • Highlights the importance of considering fungal etiologies in complex skin and subcutaneous lesions in felines.
