A three-year old male domestic cat was referred with paresis in pelvic limbs. In the physical examination, conscious proprioception in the left pelvic limb was diminished, and paralysis of the tail was observed. There were tumors in the anterior chamber of the eyes. These tumors were diagnosed as lymphoma by histopathology on specimens of needle aspiration. The patient cat was FeLV negative, FIPV negative, and FIV positive. Polypharmacal chemotherapy was performed on the cat. The ocular tumors disappeared after 6 days of treatment and the neurologic deficits disappeared after 20 days of treatment. Over 1 year has passed since the first presentation, and the cat remains completely normal.
