Veterinary Bronchoscopy

A 8-year-old, 4.46-kg, male Russian Blue was admitted for a 2-month history of paroxysmal cough and a focal pulmonary infiltrate on CXR. These respiratory signs recurred immediately when steroid was not administered. On admission, the cat was quiet, alert, and responsive. Arterial blood gas analysis showed moderate hypoxemia (Pao2 68 mmHg). Chest X-ray exhibited a focal infiltrate on right caudal lobe. Bronchoscopy revealed serous secretion emanating form RB4V1 and RB4V2. Brushing samples on RB4V2 contained only epithelial cells, and BALF retrieved in the RB2 showed mainly medium-sized foamy macrophages (95.8%) without eosinophils. Bacterial cultures were negative. Adenocarcinoma was presumably diagnosed by transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) specimen. Thoracic CT revealed reticular pattern and transaction bronchiectasis in the ventral region of the right caudal lung lobe with the ground grass opacity in the left lung caudal lobe. Two month later, a lobectomy of the right caudal lobe was undergone. A bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, a subtype of adenocarcinoma, was histopathologically diagnosed. The cat was now being followed-up.
