Abnormalities included C6-T2 myelopathy, mildly elevated hepatocellular enzymes, sternal lymphadenopathy, ill-defined hepatosplenic nodules, and multifocal lymphadenopathy, with concern for metastatic carcinoma cytologically. Humane euthanasia was elected, and a diagnostic necropsy was performed. Tissues were formalin-fixed and routinely processed before hematoxylin and eosin staining. Affected hepatic tissues were further evaluated by trichrome staining and immunolabeling for cytokeratins 7 and 19 (CK7 and CK19). Expanding and compressing the left lateral liver lobe was a large, infiltrative, tan-yellow, umbilicated mass. The remainder of the hepatic parenchyma contained up to 100 additional similarly appearing intrahepatic masses, and additional masses were observed grossly within the gallbladder, spleen, mesentery, urinary bladder, diaphragm, lungs, pleura, and sternal lymph nodes. Histology of the primary and metastatic lesions was consistent with cholangiocellular carcinoma (CC) with varying degrees of anaplasia, and a marked scirrhous response was confirmed with trichrome staining. The primary hepatic mass was CK19+/CK7- with immunolabeling. Cervical pain represents an atypical presentation for widely metastatic CC and is a suspected sequel of vertebral metastasis or embolic spinal disease. The primary hepatic mass was not captured by routine AUS, and immunolabeling of the primary lesion was negative for CK7 expression, highlighting challenges to antemortem diagnostics and poor cellular differentiation, respectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23144,"journal":{"name":"Topics in companion animal medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142407370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These include radiotherapy or electrochemotherapy (ECT), local treatments for invasive tumors in companion animals often associated with surgery. However, the current literature for ASGAC treatment is limited and there are no reports of ECT as an adjuvant therapy. In this case report, we account for the case of an 11-year-old cat with a history of a non-ulcerated recurrent ASGAC, measuring 1.3 × 1.0 cm, located by the rostral mandibular region. Surgical resection included the angularis oris axial flap for facial reconstruction associated with electroporation of the surgical bed and, post-operatively, in the surgical scar. Histopathological results confirmed the presence of a recurrent ASGAC. Immunostaining revealed cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) expression with a score of 6, 50 % positivity in Ki-67, and positive for pan-cytokeratin (PCK AE-1/ AE-3). A selective COX-2 inhibitor was initiated along with systemic chemotherapy with chlorambucil. The local approach including surgery and ECT was chosen due to the unfavorable anatomical site for extensive resection and the unavailability of radiotherapy. Subsequently, carboplatin chemotherapy was required due to metastasis in the mandibular lymph node.
