Primary bilateral renal lymphosarcoma in a cat

Abstract

Clinical, surgical and pathological data pertaining to a case of primary lymphosarcoma in a cat, with bilateral kidney involvement, are presented. A bibliographical survey on the incidence of feline lymphatic tumors, as well as a clinical discussion of the case is made. The authors share Feldman’s opinion regarding the origin of lymphosarcomas, classifying the neoplasm by them observed, in accordance with Whartin et al. as a lymphoblastic lymphosarcoma. Judging from the more specialized literature, this is a rare observation to be made in the feline species.
