An 8-year-old feline DSH was presented for evaluation of weight loss. Abnormalities on serum biochemistry were severe hyperglobulinemia (globulin 91,) elevated bilirubin and fPL. Chronic bronchitis was evident on survey radiographs.

Multi centric, regional lymphadenopathy mesenteric root and infiltrative splenic pattern. There is a strong suspicion for multiple myeloma or lymphoma or similar neoplasia. Possible chronic infectious with reactive lymphadenitis. Hyperechoic surrounding fat. FNAs were performed of the spleen and lymph node.
The proximal colon was slightly thickened and measured 0.3 cm. Jejunal lymph node mass was noted in this patient and measured 3.5 cm. Caudal mesenteric lymph node was also mildly enlarged and slightly thickened with heterogenous parenchymal changes. The spleen was enlarged and micronodular measuring 1.13 cm. This is strongly suspicious for infiltrative disease. Rapid view of the heart revealed no evident pathology.
None
Pancreas – chronic pancreatitis, neoplasia, abscess
GIT – IBD, neoplasia, granulomatous enteritis, foreign body
FIP, peritonitis
Lymphoma, multiple myeloma
Jejunal lymph node mass FNA/cytology revealed multiple myeloma.
