The clinical and radiological features of 30 cases of anterior mediastinal lymphosarcoma in the cat are described; they represented 48 per cent of all cases of lymphosarcoma recorded at the University of Bristol Veterinary School between 1972 and 1977. The condition principally affected young cats and there was a predisposition in oriental breeds. Dyspnoea and regurgitation were the two most common major presenting signs. Diagnosis was made in most cases on the basis of radiological examination, but in some cytological examination of the thoracic fluid was necessary for confirmation.
本文描述了30例猫前纵隔淋巴肉瘤的临床和放射学特征；这些病例占1972年至1977年间布里斯托大学兽医学院记录的所有淋巴肉瘤病例的48%。该病主要影响幼猫，东方品种更易患病。呼吸困难和反流是最常见的两大主要症状。大多数病例通过放射学检查做出诊断，但有些病例需要对胸水进行细胞学检查以确诊。
