A 19-week-old neutered male domestic shorthair cat was examined because of multiple raised pruritic skin lesions along the dorsal head and back. Histopathology of biopsies of the lesions detected nodular pyogranulomatous dermatitis with vasculitis and necrosis, leading to a suspicion of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). Postmortem examination revealed gross lesions consistent with FIP. Histopathologic lesions and positive immunohistochemical staining for feline coronavirus in multiple tissues, including the skin, confirmed the diagnosis of FIP. The current case was similar to previous cases, except for the initial presentation with cutaneous lesions and no other clinical signs, which had not been reported previously.
一只19周龄已绝育的雄性家养短毛猫因头部和背部多处出现瘙痒性凸起皮肤病变而接受检查。病变活检的组织病理学检查发现结节性脓性肉芽肿性皮炎伴血管炎和坏死，由此怀疑为猫传染性腹膜炎（FIP）。尸检显示肉眼病变与FIP相符。多个组织（包括皮肤）的组织病理学病变以及猫冠状病毒免疫组化染色阳性证实了FIP的诊断。除了最初表现为皮肤病变且无其他临床症状外，本病例与先前病例相似，而这种情况此前尚未见报道。
