Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Oncology
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Feline respiratory diseases can present with diverse clinical signs.
  • Intratracheal masses are a rare but serious condition in cats.
  • Lymphosarcoma is a common malignancy in felines.

Observation:

  • Four cats exhibited severe respiratory signs including dyspnea, wheezing, cyanosis, stridor, coughing, and gagging.
  • Radiographic imaging identified masses within the trachea.
  • Bronchoscopy facilitated precise lesion localization and sample acquisition.

Findings:

  • Cytopathological and histopathological analyses confirmed intratracheal lymphosarcoma as the diagnosis.
  • Affected cats showed significant clinical improvement following treatment.
