Felint lymfom
Also known as: Lymfosarkom
Lymfom er en af de hyppigste kræftformer hos katte, opstået ved ondartet omdannelse af lymfocytter, og rammer oftest tarmen, men også brysthulen, nyrerne, næsen og andre steder. Historisk forbundet med felint leukæmivirus forekommer mange moderne tilfælde hos ældre, virusnegative katte. Den reagerer ofte godt på kemoterapi.
