MULTIPLE MALIGNANT MENINGIOMAS IN A YOUNG CAT

A 2-year-old cat was presented with generalised muscle tremors and pro gressive fore-and hindlimb ataxia, 5 months after the initiation of ch emotherapy for thymic lymphoma. The lymphoma was treated with combinat ion chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone), whi ch resulted in remission. The neurological signs progressed to paralys is and the cat subsequently died. On autopsy, multiple meningiomas wer e diagnosed, which is an unusual finding. It is possible that the lymp homa chemotherapy resulted in the development of the multiple meningio mas as secondary malignancies.
