RESUMEN
A 17-year-old male neutered domestic short hair cat was presented because of anorexia. The clinical examination revealed no abnormalities. Using sonography, mainly hypoechoic mass lesions at the level of the cortex and capsule were detected in both kidneys. The severity of the renal lesions could be clearly demonstrated using contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Under general anesthesia, fine needle aspirations of the lesions were taken. Part of the lesions were sampled from dorsal, an unusual practice for small animal medicine. Cytology revealed a bilateral renal carcinoma with secondary inflammation and necrosis. The cat improved under medical symptomatic treatment, but was euthanized 2â weeks later.
