Four cats presented with clinical signs suggestive of respiratory disease, including dyspnea, wheezing, cyanosis, inspiratory stridor, coughing, and gagging. Radiographs revealed intratracheal masses. Bronchoscopy allowed for lesion localization and collection of samples for cytopathological and histopathological evaluation, which confirmed a diagnosis of lymphosarcoma. Cats treated with systemic chemotherapy or radiation were able to achieve complete remission and long-term resolution of clinical signs.
四只猫出现了提示呼吸道疾病的临床症状,包括呼吸困难、喘息、发绀、吸气性喘鸣、咳嗽和作呕。X光片显示气管内有肿块。支气管镜检查有助于病变定位并采集样本进行细胞病理学和组织病理学评估,确诊为淋巴肉瘤。接受全身化疗或放疗的猫能够实现完全缓解并长期消除临床症状。
