“…cats include abscess, neoplasia, foreign body granuloma, branchial cyst, thyroglosal duct cyst, thyroid and parathyroid cyst, pharyngeal remnants and sialoceles (Joffe, 1990, Giles et al, 2007, Kiefer and Davis, 2007, Nelson et al, 2012. In our study a tenacious golden colored or blood tinged fluid was aspirated from the swellings suggesting a sialocele (Kiefer and Davis, 2007).…”

ABSTRACT. In the present article the history, physical examination findings, laboratory test results, treatment, follow up and outcome of 2 cats with sialoceles were reported. Both cats were presented with a painless fluctuant cervical swelling. In one cat a ranula was also present. Aspiration of the swellings detected highly viscous fluid and cytology of the aspirates was consistent with the appearance of saliva. A diagnosis of sialocele was made. Both cats were managed by resection of the mandibular and sublingual gland complex through a lateral approach. In case 2 marsupialization of the ranula was also performed. The histopathological examination of the excised tissues in one cat was compatible with chronic inflammation of the mandibular and sublingual gland. The outcome was favorable in both cases and no relapses were detected after a mean follow up time of 13 months.

“…In one study of euthyroid geriatric cats (more than 9 years of age) a palpable goiter was present in 27 of 104 (26%) of cats. Other causes of palpable cervical masses include salivary mucoceles, parathyroid gland masses or cysts, thyroglossal cysts, dermoid cysts, and pharyngeal (branchial) cysts (Norsworthy et al, 2002;Phillips et al, 2003;Lynn et al, 2009;Tolbert et al, 2009;Nelson et al, 2012). Causes of thyroid gland enlargement, other than adenomatous hyperplasia or adenoma, include thyroiditis, and thyroid cystadenoma (Norsworthy et al, 2002).…”

“…Differential diagnosis for a fluid-filled mass in the cervical region includes a cyst of thyroid, parathyroid, branchial, ultimobranchial or dermoid origin, necrotic neoplasia, salivary mucocele, and abscess (Capen, 2002; Phillips et al ., 2003; Tolbert et al ., 2009; Nelson et al ., 2012).…”

A 15-year-old neutered female domestic shorthair cat was presented for weight loss, polydipsia/polyuria, and lethargy. A large fluctuant mass was palpated in the ventral right cervical region. Biochemistry results were consistent with primary hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid hormone level in the fluid was higher to that observed in the plasma, consistent with a cystic parathyroid lesion. Right parathyroidectomy and thyroidectomy were performed without complications. Ionized calcium normalized within a few hours. Histopathology yielded a diagnosis of cystic parathyroid adenoma. Follow-up showed complete recovery of clinical signs and normalization of ionized calcium. This case shows an uncommon presentation of feline primary hyperparathyroidism secondary to a cystic parathyroid adenoma and is, to our knowledge, the first case presented with a large palpable mass in which parathyroid hormone concentration was measured. This report highlights the value of selective hormonal analyses of the cystic fluid to confirm the origin of the cystic lesion pre-operatively.
