Abstract
An 8-year-old, neutered female Korean short hair cat was referred with severe vomiting and anorexia. Abdominal mass effect was seen in the cranial abdomen on radiographs, and a mass with a heterogeneous echogenic pattern was observed medial to the right kidney on ultrasonography. On computed tomography, a large mass with soft tissue attenuation and a contrast-enhanced capsule was seen. In histopathological findings, the acinar structures were lined with irregular cuboidal cells that have pale eosinophilic cytoplasm and round to oval nuclei. Based on these diagnostic imaging and histopathological findings, the mass was diagnosed as pancreatic exocrine adenocarcinoma.
