    Study Notes

    Feline Pododermatitis, Inflammatory Polyps, and Solar Dermatitis Overview

    • Feline Plasma Cell Pododermatitis is an immune-mediated condition marked by swollen, soft, and spongy footpads, with clinical signs including pain, lameness, and lymphadenomegaly
    • Differential diagnoses for Plasma Cell Pododermatitis include eosinophilic granuloma, bacterial and fungal granuloma, mosquito bite hypersensitivity, and autoimmune disorders
    • Treatment for Plasma Cell Pododermatitis involves identifying and managing underlying allergies, systemic glucocorticoids, cyclosporine, and doxycycline, with a good prognosis for most cases
    • Inflammatory polyps are non-neoplastic growths in the middle ear mucosa or eustachian tube, common in cats and uncommon in dogs, typically arising from prolonged inflammation in young mature cats
    • Clinical signs of inflammatory polyps include otic discharge, head shaking, and in severe cases, head tilt, nystagmus, and vestibular disease
    • Diagnosis of otic polyps involves careful ear canal flushing for visualization, while nasopharyngeal polyps are visualized by retraction of the soft palate during an oral exam
    • Advanced imaging exams such as CT or MRI can be used to diagnose and visualize inflammatory polyps
    • Treatment for inflammatory polyps involves removal by traction, with potential reoccurrence up to 50%, or surgical removal with ventral bulla osteotomy as the most successful option
    • Feline Solar Dermatitis is caused by actinic damage from repeated sunlight exposure, often affecting the apex of the ears, eyelids, nose, and lips in white cats in warm, sunny climates
    • Clinical features of Feline Solar Dermatitis include erythema, scaling, crusts, and potential progression to actinic keratosis or squamous cell carcinoma
    • Advanced lesions of Feline Solar Dermatitis can be painful and result in tissue loss, ulceration, and local invasion
    • Images of Feline Plasma Cell Pododermatitis, Inflammatory Polyps, and Solar Dermatitis provide visual context for the discussed conditions
