Pulmonary mass‐like lesion caused by Toxoplasma gondii in a domestic shorthair cat

Abstract A 2‐year‐old male neutered domestic shorthair cat underwent investigations for acute onset of lethargy, hyporexia, and cough. Computed tomography of the thorax identified a large mass‐like lesion in the left cranial lung lobe and bilateral pleural effusion. Thoracotomy and left cranial lung...
