Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Oncology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Prostatic carcinoma is a rare but aggressive cancer in domestic cats.
  • Early diagnosis and effective treatment strategies remain challenging.
  • Understanding clinical and pathological features is crucial for veterinary oncologists.

Observation:

  • Two cats presented with clinical signs of lower urinary tract disease, including hematuria and dysuria.
  • Radiographic findings revealed prostatomegaly in one cat.
  • Retrograde contrast urethrography showed an irregular intraprostatic urethra in both cases.

Findings:

  • Neoplasia was suspected in one cat via transurethral catheter biopsy.
  • Both cats showed a poor response to palliative treatment.

  • Histological confirmation post-euthanasia verified prostatic carcinoma.

    • Implications:

    • This case report underscores the diagnostic difficulties associated with feline prostatic carcinoma.
    • It highlights the aggressive nature of the disease and limited treatment options.
    • Further research into early detection and novel therapeutic approaches for feline prostate cancer is warranted.
