Abstract

A 15-year-old, female Siamese cat presented with multiple cavitary lung lesions on thoracic radiographs. This was confirmed histologically to be a well-differentiated bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. To the authors' knowledge, this radiographic pattern has not previously been reported in association with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma in cats.
