A gastric nodule was found in a cat examined following a car accident. Cytological examination showed a mixed, mainly eosinophilic, inflammation with reactive fibroblasts and ovoidal elements resembling nematode eggs. The cat was euthanased because of rapid worsening of clinical signs due to secondary injuries, and the gastric nodule was excised for examination. The intramural mass was smooth and spherical, with an intact mucosal surface and a little opening from which several reddish worms were extruding. Histopathological examination confirmed severe reactive fibroplasia and inflammation, surrounding sections of a nematode worm. The latter was then identified with polymerase chain reaction as belonging to the Cylicospirura genus. Cylicospirura species worms should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gastric nodules in the cat.
在一只因车祸接受检查的猫身上发现了一个胃结节。细胞学检查显示为混合性炎症，主要为嗜酸性炎症，伴有反应性成纤维细胞和类似线虫卵的椭圆形成分。由于继发损伤导致临床症状迅速恶化，这只猫被实施了安乐死，并切除胃结节进行检查。壁内肿物光滑呈球形，黏膜表面完整，有一个小孔，从中伸出几条红色的蠕虫。组织病理学检查证实有严重的反应性纤维增生和炎症，围绕着一段线虫。随后通过聚合酶链反应鉴定该线虫属于环螺旋属。在猫胃结节的鉴别诊断中应考虑环螺旋属线虫。
