Abstract

This report describes the diagnostic radiographic and CT features of pleuropneumonia in a cat with wet type of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). In a 1 year-old cat presented with respiratory distress, pulmonary mass, thickened pleural wall with mass-like structures, and a large amount of pleural effusion were identified on radiography, ultrasonography, and CT. About two months later, in addition to the pre-existing lesions, multiple nodules had developed on the intestine and left kidney. The cat was diagnosed with pleuropneumonia caused by FIP through histologic examination and immunohistochemistry. Pleuropneumonia is rarely reported in cats with FIP, and only one cat with non-effusive FIP had pyogranulomatous pneumonia as consolidated lung lobe. In the present case, pleuropneumonia was detected as multiple mass-like lesions on diagnostic imaging.

1년령의 고양이가 호흡 곤란 주증으로 내원하여, 방사선, 초음파, CT 검사에서 우측 후엽의 폐 종괴, 다수의 흉벽 종괴를 동반한 흉막 비후, 다량의 흉수 소견이 확인되었다. 두 달 뒤 소장과 좌측 신장에서 다수의 결절들이 추가로 관찰되었고, 조직 검사와 면역 염색을 통해 고양이 전염성 복막염과 흉막 폐렴으로 진단되었다. 비삼출성 고양이 전염성 복막염에 의한 화농육아종성 폐렴이 발생한 한 마리 증례가 보고되어 있으며, 방사선 검사에서 폐엽의 경화상이 관찰되었다. 본 증례는 삼출성 고양이 전염성 복막염에서 흉막 폐렴이 다수의 종괴 양상으로 관찰된 드문 증례로 영상학적 특징을 평가한 첫 보고이다.
