Plain-English summary
Two cats were diagnosed with a type of throat cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. The diagnosis was confirmed using X-rays, an endoscope, and a biopsy. One cat had surgery to remove the affected part of the esophagus, but sadly, it passed away three days later. The second cat was euthanized shortly after the diagnosis.

Abstract
Two cases of feline oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma are described. In both cases, diagnosis was achieved by radiography, endoscopy and cytology, and later confirmed by histology. One cat underwent oesophagectomy followed by end-to-end anastomosis, but died three days postsurgery; the second cat was euthanased after diagnosis.
