Partial intestinal obstruction due to colonic adenocarcinoma in a cat.
An abdominal mass was palpated in a 14-year-old, spayed female cat with unresolving diarrhea and decreased appetite. A stricture of the ascending colon was confirmed radiographically, identified upon laparotomy, and resected. Colonic adenocarcinoma with infiltration into lymphatics was diagnosed histologically. Eight months postoperatively, the subject was clinically normal.
