A 10-year-old male Domestic Longhair cat with weight loss, enlarged left testicle, icterus and mild liver enlargement showed, at necropsy, two white, raised, firm, circumscribed masses in the liver and striking enlargement of the left testicle. The histological features of the liver masses were consistent with lymphangioma. Severe, diffuse, coalescing to multifocal, subacute, necrotizing orchitis of the left testicle also was diagnosed. A literature review and examination of the epidemiology of lymphangioma in small domestic animals demonstrated the rarity of this tumour in cats.
一只10岁的雄性家猫，体重减轻，左侧睾丸肿大，出现黄疸且肝脏轻度肿大，尸检时发现肝脏有两个白色、隆起、质地坚硬、边界清晰的肿块，左侧睾丸明显肿大。肝脏肿块的组织学特征与淋巴管瘤相符。还诊断出左侧睾丸患有严重的、弥漫性的、融合成多灶性的亚急性坏死性睾丸炎。文献综述以及对小型家养动物淋巴管瘤流行病学的研究表明，这种肿瘤在猫中很罕见。
