Abstract

A four-years-old castrated male domestic cat was presented with a complaint of vomiting and difficulty in defecation. On physical examination, a large, firm mass was palpated in the right side of the abdomen. Radiographically and ultrasonographically, the parenchymatous mass occupied the right cranial portion of the abdomen. Intravenous urogram revealed that the mass was the right kidney. Thoracic radiography revealed no metastases in the lung. Right nephrectomy was performed. The histologic diagnosis was nephroblastoma. Eight days after the operation, the cat showed the signs of uremia with elevated BUN and serum creatinine levels and died on 50 days postoperatively.
