Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Summary

A rare feline skin disease, staphylococcal granuloma, caused severe abdominal lesions in a cat. Postmortem and histopathology confirmed this diagnosis after euthanasia was elected due to the progressive condition.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Psychogenic alopecia and self-trauma are common in cats.
  • Severe, progressive skin lesions can significantly impact feline welfare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of staphylococcal granuloma in a domestic longhaired cat.
  • To describe the clinical presentation and diagnostic findings of this rare condition.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical case observation.
  • Postmortem examination.
  • Histopathological analysis of skin lesions.

Main Results:

  • A 4.5-year-old cat presented with severe, extensive nodular and draining lesions on the ventral abdomen.
  • The condition was progressive despite a history of psychogenic alopecia.

  • Postmortem and histopathology confirmed staphylococcal granuloma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Staphylococcal granuloma is a rare but severe differential diagnosis for nodular, draining skin lesions in cats.
    • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for appropriate management, even if euthanasia is ultimately elected.
