AB  - Lymphomais the most common feline malignancy, and the alimentary form is the mostcommon seen form of the disease. Alimentary form in the cat typically involvesthe small intestine, stomach, mesenteric lymph nodes, and liver. The disease isoften reported in cats between 1 and 20 (mean 13 years) years of age. A 3-year-old domestic male cat was admitted toUludağ University Animal Hospital due to chronic weight loss, loss of appetite,diarrhea and vomiting traced back to 15 days. Abdominal ultrasonography wasperformed and a large solid mass was spotted in the cranial abdomen. During thetreatment, the cat developed respiratory stress, shock and died 2 days after. Inlight of the clinical symptoms, ultrasonography, necropsy and histopathologicalfindings; small-cell-alimentary lymphoma was diagnosed for the 3-year-old cat.It can be interpreted that small cell (lymphocytic) alimentary lymphoma is seenrarely in younger cats and seldom exceeds itself from gastrointestinal tractcompared to large-cell lymphoma.
