  • A nine-year-old spayed female Turkish angora cat presented for evaluation of anorexia, lethargy, vomiting, ptyalism and jaundice. Based on clinical examinations including laboratory examinations, concurrent inflammatory condition of the biliary system, pancreas and intestines (triaditis) was suspected. The cat was under antibiotic and immune-suppressive therapy, but there was no response. Further examination revealed the possibility of malignant hepatobiliary tumor with pulmonary metastasis. The condition of the cat continued to deteriorate and the cat died 3 weeks after the diagnosis. This case demonstrates the clinical findings of triaditis combined with suspected malignant hepatobiliary tumor.
