Case Report

Cutaneous Paecilomycosis in a Cat

Edmund J. Rosser, Jr., DVM, Diplomate ACVD

From the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, Veterinary Medical Center, College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824-1314.

A cat was presented for a 2-year history of a recurrent, soft-tissue swelling of the left metacarpal region. The mass was excised and submitted for aerobic and anaerobic bacterial culture, fungal culture, and histopathological examination. Cultures revealed the organism Paecilomyces lilacinus, and histopathological examination showed a nodular mycotic granuloma. Itraconazole (10 mg/kg body weight, per os [PO], q 24 hours) was administered and continued for a total of 60 days, with a swelling of the upper lip occurring 3 months after the initial presentation. Subsequent surgical excisions and debridements along with treatment with itraconazole (20 mg/kg body weight, PO, q 24 hours) for a total of 4 months were curative.
