This study details a feline lymphangiosarcoma case, identifying PROX-1 as a key marker for distinguishing lymphatic from vascular angiosarcoma in cats.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Oncology
  • Immunohistochemistry

Background:

  • Lymphangiosarcoma is a rare vascular tumor in cats.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for prognosis and treatment.

Observation:

  • A 5-year-old female cat presented with a large, fluctuant swelling in the caudal mammary region.
  • Histopathology revealed neoplastic spindle cells forming vascular clefts in the dermis and subcutis.
  • Immunohistochemistry showed neoplastic cells expressing vimentin, factor VIII-related antigen, and PROX-1, but not cytokeratin.

Findings:

  • The tumor was diagnosed as lymphangiosarcoma based on histopathological and immunohistochemical findings.
  • PROX-1 expression was identified as a useful marker for differentiating lymphatic endothelial origin in feline angiosarcomas.

  • Ki67 expression indicated significant neoplastic cell proliferation.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of PROX-1 in diagnosing feline lymphangiosarcoma.
    • The findings contribute to a better understanding of vascular tumors in cats.
    • PROX-1 may aid in differentiating lymphatic versus vascular origins of angiosarcomas in feline patients.
