Overview

Case report describes a spinal cord medulloepithelioma in a young cat, highlighting morphological concordance with human tumors.

Key Points

  • A spinal cord medulloepithelioma was diagnosed in a young cat presenting with progressive paraparesis, showing strong structural concordance with human neuroepithelial tumors.
  • The neoplastic tissue exhibited a Ki-67 nuclear labeling index reaching 90%, displaying positive immunoreactivity for vimentin and NSE alongside absent GFAP expression.
  • Neurological examination and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed an intradural extramedullary mass at L5-L6, highlighting medulloepithelioma as a rare feline spinal tumor.
