Resección quirúrgica de linfoma intestinal en felino macho de 2 años positivo para el virus de VIF Y LeIF.

Abstract

A 2-year-old feline patient was taken to the Vetmedical veterinary clinic, whose owner reported that the feline has not consumed food in recent days, has presented several episodes of vomiting and is quite listless. After performing a detailed physical examination, it is decided to perform an X-ray where the presence of a foreign body in the intestinal tract is determined. Subsequently, an exploratory laparotomy was performed in order to review the intestine and remove the foreign body through surgical techniques such as enterectomy and enteroanastomosis. After the surgery, the animal enters into respiratory apnea and its vital signs begin to decline, dying minutes after the intervention is finished. Through histopathological studies, it was possible to determine that the foreign body corresponded to a neoplastic mass classified as low-grade diffuse intermediate cell lymphoma.
