A Recurrent Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor-like Lesion of the Splenic Capsule in a Kitten: Clinical, Microscopic and Ultrastructural Description

Objective: To describe the findings of an unusual splenic tumor in a kitten. Methods: A grossly multinodular mass arising from the splenic capsule of a 7-month-old male Havana kitten was echographically detected and surgically removed by splenectomy, then analyzed microscopically and ultrastructural...

Methods: A grossly multinodular mass arising from the splenic capsule of a 7-month-old male Havana kitten was echographically detected and surgically removed by splenectomy, then analyzed microscopically and ultrastructurally. Results: The mass showed features of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Treatment and Outcome: Two months after surgical excision, the mass recurred in the same intra-abdominal area but disappeared after 2 months of anti-inflammatory therapy. Follow-up at 18 months after surgery revealed resolution of the disease. Clinical Relevance: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in cats have been rarely reported and are usually in the orbital region. In the present report, an unusual multinodular gross presentation, a recurrence over time, and a favorable clinical course, are described.Silvia FerroDavid ChiavegatoPiergiorgio FiorentinValentina ZappulliStefano Di PalmaMDPI AGarticleinflammatory myofibroblastic tumorfelinetransmission electron microscopyspleenVeterinary medicineSF600-1100ENVeterinary Sciences, Vol 8, Iss 275, p 275 (2021)
