Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Dermatology
  • Virology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Persistent cutaneous papillomavirus infections are rare in felines.
  • This case highlights a unique presentation in a crossbred Persian cat.

Observation:

  • The cat presented with multifocal-to-confluent, raised, black plaques on its neck, thorax, shoulders, and forelegs.
  • Lesions were characteristic of a chronic, persistent viral infection.

Findings:

  • Papillomavirus virions were identified in skin lesions using electron microscopy.
  • Immunoperoxidase staining confirmed the presence of papillomavirus antigens within the stratum granulosum cells.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of feline papillomavirus manifestations.
