Feline cutaneous paraneoplastic syndrome is a rare disorder associated mainly with pancreatic carcinoma and thymoma. In this report the authors describe the case of a 12-year-old cat with paraneoplastic exfoliative dermatitis associated with thymoma. Lateral radiographic examination of the chest showed a small subtle soft tissue density in the ventral part of the first and second intercostal space, which together with skin changes suggested thymoma. Because of pain associated with the skin condition, costs of treatment and the risk associated with surgical treatment, the owner chose euthanasia of the cat. Post-mortem examination revealed a tumour which was diagnosed as thymoma by histopathological examination.
猫皮肤副肿瘤综合征是一种罕见的疾病，主要与胰腺癌和胸腺瘤有关。在本报告中，作者描述了一例12岁患副肿瘤性剥脱性皮炎并伴有胸腺瘤的猫的病例。胸部侧位X线检查显示第一和第二肋间间隙腹侧有一个小的、不明显的软组织密度影，结合皮肤变化提示为胸腺瘤。由于与皮肤状况相关的疼痛、治疗费用以及手术治疗的风险，猫主人选择对猫实施安乐死。尸检发现一个肿瘤，经组织病理学检查诊断为胸腺瘤。
