Abstract EN

A 3-year-old, male neutered domestic shorthair cat, presented for acute onset tail paresis.

He was diagnosed with a spindle cell tumour at the level of L7-CD1 and treated with course fractionation radiation therapy.

Three years following radiation therapy, the cat developed chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the pelvis, suspected to be secondary to radiation therapy.

Hemipelvectomy was performed and the cat was treated with radiation therapy for remaining gross disease.

The cat was euthanized 127 days post-operatively due to suspected metastatic disease.

Development of radiation-induced tumours should be considered as a rare late complication in cats undergoing radiation therapy.
