Pancreatic cyst in a cat.

METHODS

A 5-year-old neutered male Cornish Rex cat was presented for evaluation with a history of vomiting over the previous 5 days.

RESULTS

An abdominal mass was palpated, which was shown to be cystic by ultrasound examination. Exploratory surgery revealed this to be associated with the pancreas and it was duly resected. Histopathology was performed on the cystic mass.

METHODS

Pancreatic cyst with associated chronic active inflammation.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first report of a true pancreatic cyst in a cat.
