Area of Science:

Veterinary oncology
Comparative pathology
Feline medicine

Background:

Periaortic tumors are exceptionally rare in veterinary medicine.
Lymphoma is a common malignancy in cats, but typically presents in other locations.

Observation:

A 14-year-old cat presented with hindlimb ataxia, muscle atrophy, lethargy, and inappetence.
Clinicopathological findings included non-regenerative anemia and elevated feline pancreatic lipase.
Imaging revealed a periaortic mass compressing the spinal cord.

Findings:

Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed B-cell lymphoma involving the periaortic region, kidneys, and spleen.
The periaortic mass extended from T9-L2, causing spinal cord compression and Wallerian degeneration.

Implications:

This is the first reported case of periaortic lymphoma in a cat.
Lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis for periaortic masses in cats, despite its rarity.
