Case Report |
From the Park Pet Hospital (Jacobs), 7378 North Teutonia Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53209 and the Department of Pathobiology (Snyder), Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907.
Mucinous cholangiocarcinoma was diagnosed in a 14-year-old, castrated male, domestic shorthaired cat with marked peritoneal effusion. Cytological confirmation of malignancy by fluid analysis and fine-needle, ultrasound-guided aspiration of the liver was followed by histological examination of tissue samples obtained at surgery and necropsy. No observed response followed chemotherapy with doxorubicin and carboplatin. Electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry helped to further characterize this unusual tumor.
