Lymphosarcoma in a cat.

Abstract

Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) antigen was detected in a cat from Cape Town which was subjected to euthanasia after a long history of upper respiratory infection and progressive emaciation. Based on the necropsy findings and subsequent histopathological examinations, a diagnosis of lymphosarcoma was made. It is regarded as likely that this tumour was caused by infection with FeLV.
