Abstract
A cat, thought to be 5 years old, and with reduced appetite and weight loss, was presented for dental cleaning and extractions. Bile duct origin hepatic carcinoma was diagnosed. The progression of iris degeneration, dental disease, histological renal lesions, spondylosis, and hepatobiliary neoplasia suggest this cat was closer to 10 years old.
