| Popis: |
A mature castrated male domestic shorthair cat was referred for treatment of an excoriated, ulcerated area on the nasal planum. Undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed. Surgical resection of the nasal planum was not an option, so the lesion was treated 4 times with neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser. Laser surgery results in uniform photovaporization of large volumes of tissue. Although treatment with laser does not yield tissue specimens suitable for histologic evaluation, it can result in a cosmetically suitable appearance and can extend the predicted life span. A diagnosis of undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma has a guarded prognosis: however, the cat of this report survived more than 18 months. |
