A cat diagnosed with chordoma, a rare bone cancer, experienced metastasis to lymph nodes despite surgical removal of the primary tumor. This highlights the aggressive nature of feline chordoma and the need for vigilant monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Oncology
  • Comparative Pathology

Background:

  • Chordomas are rare, slow-growing tumors arising from notochordal remnants.
  • This case involves a domestic cat, a species where chordomas are infrequently reported.

Observation:

  • A chordoma was surgically excised from the deep musculature near the C3 and C4 vertebrae in a 14-year-old cat.
  • The cat was castrated and is described as a domestic animal.

Findings:

  • Metastasis of the chordoma was observed in a prescapular lymph node 10 months post-excision.
  • At 11 months post-excision, necropsy revealed further metastases in both retropharyngeal lymph nodes.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for chordoma metastasis in cats, even after complete excision of the primary tumor.

  • It emphasizes the importance of long-term monitoring for recurrence and metastasis in feline chordoma cases.
  • Further research into the behavior and treatment of feline chordomas may be warranted.
