An 8-month old intact male Turkish Angora cat was referred to the veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH), Seoul National University, for an evaluation of anorexia and severe dyspnea. The thoracic radiographs revealed significant pleural effusion. A cytology evaluation of the pleural fluid strongly suggested a lymphoma containing variable sized lymphocytes with frequent mitotic figures and prominent nucleoli. The feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus tests were negative. The cat was euthanized at his owner's request and a necropsy was performed. A mass was detected on the mediastinum and lung lobes. A histopathology evaluation confirmed the mass to be a lymphoma. Immunohistochemistry revealed the mass to be CD3 positive. In conclusion, the cat was diagnosed as a T-cell mediastinal lymphoma.
一只8个月大的未绝育雄性土耳其安哥拉猫被转诊至首尔国立大学兽医学院教学医院，以评估其厌食和严重呼吸困难的症状。胸部X光片显示有大量胸腔积液。胸腔积液的细胞学评估强烈提示为淋巴瘤，其中含有大小不一的淋巴细胞，有频繁的有丝分裂象和明显的核仁。猫白血病病毒和猫免疫缺陷病毒检测均为阴性。应主人要求，该猫实施安乐死并进行了尸检。在纵隔和肺叶发现一个肿块。组织病理学评估证实该肿块为淋巴瘤。免疫组织化学显示该肿块CD3呈阳性。综上所述，该猫被诊断为T细胞纵隔淋巴瘤。
