An 11-year-old, 5.8-kg, male European cat was presented with a 4-month history of sneezing, nasal discharge, respiratory distress and bilateral conjunctivitis. Physical examination showed bilateral hemorrhagic mucopurulent nasal discharge and stertorous respiratory sounds. An irregular shaped mass involving the aboral portion of the right nasal cavity and sphenoidal sinus was identified by computed tomography. The mass was localized endoscopically in the medium meatus and an endoscopic-guided biopsy was performed. B-cell lymphoma was diagnosed by histopathological and immunochemistry exams. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery allowed to completely remove the tumor and restore a normal nasal flow. The cat showed no recurrence of the neoplasia for 15 months after the functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
一只11岁、体重5.8千克的雄性欧洲猫，出现了4个月的打喷嚏、鼻分泌物、呼吸窘迫和双侧结膜炎病史。体格检查显示双侧出血性黏液脓性鼻分泌物和鼾声呼吸音。计算机断层扫描发现一个不规则形状的肿块，累及右侧鼻腔和蝶窦的口后部。通过内镜将肿块定位在中鼻道，并进行了内镜引导下活检。通过组织病理学和免疫化学检查诊断为B细胞淋巴瘤。功能性鼻内镜鼻窦手术能够完全切除肿瘤并恢复正常鼻气流。该猫在功能性鼻内镜鼻窦手术后15个月内肿瘤未复发。
