Ca. Rees et Mh. Goldschmidt, CUTANEOUS HORN AND SQUAMOUS-CELL CARCINOMA IN-SITU (BOWENS-DISEASE) IN A CAT, The Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association, 34(6), 1998, pp. 485-486
Cutaneous horn and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ (i.e., Bowen'
s disease) were documented concurrently in a cat. The cat had multiple
, crusted lesions and a cutaneous horn on the right dorsal lumbar area
. All the crusted cutaneous lesions were diagnosed as SCC in situ. Oth
er findings included the presence of a thymoma and hepatoma. This cat
was tested, and results were negative for feline leukemia and feline i
mmunodeficiency viruses. At necropsy (eight months after the initial d
iagnosis was made) the hepatoma had ruptured, resulting in exsanguinat
ion and death.
