This study reports a case of parasitism by Dioctophyme renale in a supernumerary kidney and abdominal cavity of a female cat in Brazil. The three-year-old cat of indeterminate breed presented abdominal distension and was taken to the University of Contestado Veterinary Hospital in Canoinhas, state of Santa Catarina, since the owner suspected pregnancy. An ultrasound scan did not confirm pregnancy but revealed parasitism in the kidney. This case is worth reporting because domestic cats are rarely hosts of this nematode species.
本研究报告了巴西一只雌性猫的额外肾和腹腔内出现肾膨结线虫寄生的病例。这只三岁、品种不明的猫出现腹部肿胀，因其主人怀疑怀孕，被送往圣卡塔琳娜州卡诺伊尼亚斯的孔斯塔多大学兽医医院。超声扫描未确认怀孕，但发现肾脏有寄生虫。该病例值得报告，因为家猫很少是这种线虫物种的宿主。
