Summary:CASE SUMMARYA 5-year-old neutered male domestic longhair cat was presented for the investigation of a cranial abdominal mass following a 1-month history of inappetence and lethargy. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a large cavitated mass confluent with the mesenteric aspect of the descending duodenum. At surgery, the mass was found to involve the pylorus, proximal duodenum and pancreas, and was non-resectable. Histopathological examination of surgical biopsies revealed a non-neoplastic process involving eosinophils and fibroplasia. RELEVANCE AND NOVEL INFORMATIONThis case report describes an uncommon feline gastrointestinal pathology with an unusual appearance that may provide an additional differential diagnosis other than neoplasia or abdominal abscess when confronted with a cavitated abdominal mass in cats.
