Plain-English summary
A 3-year-old cat was brought to the vet for ongoing vomiting that happened repeatedly over time. After some tests, the vet found that the cat had chronic lymphocytic-plasmacytic gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach lining. The condition was successfully treated with prednisone, a medication that helps reduce inflammation. It's important for pet owners to know that a more serious condition, like lymphosarcoma (a type of cancer), could be missed without thorough testing.

Abstract
A 3-year-old cat presented for chronic intermittent vomiting was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic-plasmacytic gastritis via histological examination of an endoscopic gastric biopsy. The condition was effectively managed with prednisone. The author cautions against missing a diagnosis of alimentary lymphosarcoma without a full-thickness gastric biopsy.
