Abstract
A twelve-year-old, mixed-breed, spayed cat was referred because of vomiting and anorexia. Blood examination showed elevated liver enzymes. Ultrasonography showed an enlarged mesenteric lymph node and the presence of an intestinal mass. On the sixth day, partial resection of the intestine including the mass was performed, and liver biopsy was also done. Histopathologically, the disease was diagnosed as large granular lymphocyte (LGL) lymphoma, accompanying liver infiltration. From day 18, administration of lomustine was initiated as postoperative chemotherapy, and on day 61, the enlarged mesenteric lymph had become smaller. On day 156, however, the disease had recurred, and the cat died on day 197 in spite of multi-medicine chemotherapy.
