A distinctive lymphadenopathy in nine cats, four of which were of the Longhair breed, was characterized by capillary vasoproliferation and lymphoid atrophy. It occurred in the cervical or inguinal regions. The animals were, apart from local manifestations, healthy at the time and remained so subsequently. In the absence of any clinical or morphological evidence for viral, neoplastic or developmental aetiologies, we postulate an ischaemic pathogenesis for the lesions which may be related to human "vascular transformation of lymph node sinuses". The lesions appear to be by no means a rare cause of non-neoplastic lymphadenopathy in domestic cats, since they constituted over 5 per cent of surgical biopsies of cat lymph nodes seen in the past 5 years. The lesions merit wider recognition and investigation.
9只猫出现了一种独特的淋巴结病，其中4只是长毛品种，其特征为毛细血管增生和淋巴样萎缩。病变发生在颈部或腹股沟区。这些动物当时除局部表现外健康，随后也一直保持健康。由于缺乏病毒、肿瘤或发育病因的任何临床或形态学证据，我们推测这些病变的发病机制为缺血性，可能与人类的“淋巴结窦血管转化”有关。这些病变似乎绝非家猫非肿瘤性淋巴结病的罕见病因，因为在过去5年所见的猫淋巴结手术活检中，它们占比超过5%。这些病变值得更广泛的认识和研究。
