Abstract

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour is an uncommon tumour in cats. The current case report aims to present the diagnosis, treatment and histopathology of a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour that developed in the cerebellopontine angle region of a cat. A 4-year-old 4.2-kg female calico cat was brought to the animal hospital with the complaints of loss of balance, leaning against the wall and behavioural changes. During the neurological examination, the patient was observed to have a right-sided head tilt accompanied by ipsilateral ventral strabismus. On magnetic resonance imaging scan, a mass was identified at the right cerebellopontine angle. The surgical removal of the mass was carried out using a caudo-tentorial approach. The histopathological analysis revealed the presence of a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour. This case report contributes to the existing knowledge in the field presenting the characteristics of a malignant peripheral nerve tumour that was not associated with any nerve in the cerebellopontine angle in a cat.

一只猫的小脑角恶性周围神经鞘瘤。

恶性周围神经鞘瘤是猫科动物中一种不常见的肿瘤。本病例报告旨在介绍发生在猫小脑角区域的恶性周围神经鞘瘤的诊断、治疗和组织病理学。一只 4 岁、体重 4.2 千克的雌性花猫被送到动物医院，主诉失去平衡、靠在墙上和行为改变。在进行神经系统检查时，发现患者头部右侧倾斜，并伴有同侧腹侧斜视。磁共振成像扫描发现，右侧小脑角有肿块。手术采用尾状腱膜入路切除肿块。组织病理学分析显示，该患者患有恶性周围神经鞘瘤。本病例报告介绍了猫小脑角恶性周围神经鞘瘤的特征，有助于丰富该领域的现有知识。

期刊介绍： Journal of Small Animal Practice (JSAP) is a monthly peer-reviewed publication integrating clinical research papers and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to dogs, cats and other small animals. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. JSAP publishes high quality original articles, as well as other scientific and educational information. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of small animal medicine and surgery. In addition to original articles, JSAP will publish invited editorials (relating to a manuscript in the same issue or a topic of current interest), review articles, which provide in-depth discussion of important clinical issues, and other scientific and educational information from around the world. The final decision on publication of a manuscript rests with the Editorial Board and ultimately with the Editor. All papers, regardless of type, represent the opinion of the authors and not necessarily that of the Editor, the Association or the Publisher. The Journal of Small Animal Practice is published on behalf of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association and is also the official scientific journal of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association
