Feline Mesenteric form of Multinodal Lymphoma: A Case Report
Journal Title: Annual Research & Review in Biology - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Feline lymphoma is one of the most important forms of tumor which is not completely understood. Complications and pathogenesis of tumor growth and development is quite difficult to diagnose due to varied etiology and pathogenesis. Mesenteric form of lymphoma is quite rare (8-18%) in felines and tumor regression and palliation are quite challenging in these patients. Case Presentation: An 8 year old, desi, short-hair breed feline was reported to the hospital with the consistent respiratory distress and abnormally swollen neck for the past two weeks. The feline was a recently adopted stray pet and the preventive strategies like vaccination, birth control etc., were not undertaken as per the history collected. The animal was diagnosed as stage IV high grade, anaplastic large cell lymphoma after employing various diagnostic strategies. The animal was treated with University of Wisconsin-Madison Modified Chemotherapy Protocol which led to the successive regression of the condition. Conclusion: Lymphoma is one of the common hematological malignancies of felines whose management still remains challenging. There are various forms of lymphoma depending on the site of occurrence and metastasis. Chemotherapy and surgical options are the best available strategies in management of lymphoma. Multi-nodal lymphoma is occur in10-20% of the felines. Chemotherapy protocol as standardized by the University of Wisconsin-Madison is still efficient in management of lymphoma in felines irrespective of the stage and clinical grade of presentation.
