Description

A ten-year-old female american-short-hair cat was brought in with paralyzed rear limbs. The cat showed dorsal swelling and induration between the 1st and the 3rd lumbar vertebrae, and absent pulsation on the femoral artery. Radiography and ultrasonography revealed that there were intra-abdominal cysts which had invaded the lumbar vertebrae. After draining liquid from these cysts, pulse on the femoral artery became palpable, but the rear paralysis did not improve. Myelography suggested the presence of spinal cord compression. A dorsal laminectomy from L1 to L3 was performed, but the rear paralysis still remained. The cat died five days after the surgery. At necropsy, the right kidney was highly hydronephrotic and adhered tightly to the ventral side of the vertebral bodies from L1 to L3. Histological diagnosis of the disease was an adenosquamous carcinoma originating from transitional epithelium of the renal pelvis or the ureter.
