Abstract

A 7-year-old Korean shorthair cat was admitted to our hospital with chronic constipation. Abdominal ultrasonography incidentally revealed a focal asymmetric gastric mass. The mass was submucosal and hypoechoic without loss of wall layering. Histopathological examination revealed a gastric submucosal lipoma (GSL). Although there have been reports of gastric submucosal fat infiltration in cats, there have been no reports regarding GSL. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the ultrasonographic characteristics of GSL in a cat. Gastric submucosal lipoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis when a focal hypoechoic submucosal mass without loss of wall layering in the stomach is observed on ultrasound images. Key clinical message: This case report describes the ultrasonographic characteristics of GSL in a cat and aims to provide useful information for the diagnosis of lipoma occurring in the feline gastrointestinal tract. The ultrasonographic features and histological results we describe should be helpful in diagnosing submucosal lipoma in cats with similar conditions.

猫胃黏膜下脂肪瘤的超声特征：病例研究。

一只 7 岁的韩国短毛猫因长期便秘被送入我院。腹部超声波检查偶然发现了一个局灶性不对称胃肿块。肿块位于粘膜下，呈低回声，胃壁无分层。组织病理学检查显示为胃黏膜下脂肪瘤（GSL）。虽然有猫胃粘膜下脂肪浸润的报道，但还没有关于 GSL 的报道。据我们所知，这是第一份描述猫胃粘膜下脂肪瘤超声特征的报告。如果在超声图像上观察到胃黏膜下有局灶性低回声肿块，且胃壁分层没有消失，则应将胃黏膜下脂肪瘤作为鉴别诊断的一个考虑因素。关键临床信息：本病例报告描述了猫GSL的超声特征，旨在为猫胃肠道脂肪瘤的诊断提供有用信息。我们描述的超声波特征和组织学结果应有助于诊断患有类似病症的猫的粘膜下脂肪瘤。

期刊介绍： The Canadian Veterinary Journal (CVJ) provides a forum for the discussion of all matters relevant to the veterinary profession. The mission of the Journal is to educate by informing readers of progress in clinical veterinary medicine, clinical veterinary research, and related fields of endeavor. The key objective of The CVJ is to promote the art and science of veterinary medicine and the betterment of animal health. A report suggesting that animals have been unnecessarily subjected to adverse, stressful, or harsh conditions or treatments will not be processed for publication. Experimental studies using animals will only be considered for publication if the studies have been approved by an institutional animal care committee, or equivalent, and the guidelines of the Canadian Council on Animal Care, or equivalent, have been followed by the author(s).
