ABSTRACT

Adenocarcinoma is the most common intestinal tumour in cats, and these tumours often grow relatively slowly resulting in a chronic history. By the time the disease is diagnosed, local and or distant metastases are common, as in this case, necessitating euthanasia. If an early diagnosis is made, and a solitary tumour identified, radical surgical resection may be curative. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy is considered to have little or no benefit.
