Anterior uveitis as an atypical presentation of large granular lymphoma in a caracal (Caracal caracal).
Veterinary Ophthalmology 2011 September
An 11-year-old, female, spayed caracal (Caracal caracal) presented with a 3-month history of intermittent anorexia, vomiting, and weight loss. At examination, bilateral anterior uveitis with anisocoria was present. Further examination under general anesthesia revealed the anterior chamber of the right eye contained copious amounts of thick fibrin, hypopyon, and hyphema obscuring the ventral pupil margin and ventral iris. Aqueous paracentesis revealed a cytologic diagnosis of large granular lymphoma. Additional antemortem diagnostics (computed tomography, ultrasound with fine needle aspiration, and cytology) confirmed the diagnosis of multicentric large granular lymphoma with associated intestinal perforation. Necropsy and histopathology confirmed multicentric large granular lymphoma in the right eye, jejunum, mesenteric lymph nodes, and right kidney. Large granular lymphoma in nondomestic felids is likely rare since it has not been previously reported, but should be considered as a differential in any felid species with anterior uveitis or when lymphoma is considered. In the case of this caracal, the use of aqueous paracentesis with cytology was a powerful diagnostic.
