Abstract

A 3.5kg, 3-year-old castrated male Japanese domestic cat withpelvic limb ataxia and dysuria was referred to the Veterinary Medical Center of the Tokyo University. On the neurologic examination findings, both pelivic had a LMN paresis. The cat was FeLV positive and FIV negative. Radiographic findings did not identify the spinal lesions. In magnetic resonance images(MRI) of the lumbar spinal cord, the cat had the lesions in the lumbar(L) 1 and L3, characterized by hyperintensity on a transverse T2-weighted and T1-weighted images, and contrast enhancement was evident. The mass removed by dorsal laminectomy. Histopathological examination of the mass revealed spinal lymphoma. Three weeks after the surgery, the cat administered chemotherapy protocol for lymphoma by current protocol. Two weeks after chemotherapy, the cat had a metastasis to bone marrow and died.
