Small Cell Lymphoma

• Small cell lymphoma is a form of cancer found in cats. Many cats develop it within their intestinal tracts, according to "Withrow and MacEwen's Small Animal Clinical Oncology."
  
  

Symptoms

• Cats with small cell lymphoma often experience diarrhea and dehydration. Some cats develop anemia.
  
  

Diagnosis

• A veterinarian can diagnose small cell lymphoma in a cat by palpitating the cat's abdomen and feeling the cancerous mass. Imaging tests like ultrasounds or X-rays can also help to identify small cell lymphoma.
  
  

Treatment

• Cats with small cell lymphoma can be treated with surgery to remove the cancer. Medication like prednisone can also help combat symptoms of small cell lymphoma.
  
  

Considerations

• Small cell lymphoma can be systemic. If it develops in a cat's intestinal tract, there is a chance it can spread throughout a cat's body.
