Polyposis of the small intestine in a young cat. A comparison with polyposis in man and dogs.
A one year old female Foreign White cat is described with a history of six days of unthriftiness, anorexia, anaemia and depressed temperature. The necropsy revealed multiple sessile polyps in the jejunum. Histologically a hyperplasia of the crypt epithelium with an inflammation of the mucosa and submucosa was found. A comparison of polyposis in man, dogs and cats is made.
