case_images: Case 1. (a) Appearance of the distal right hindlimb prior to amputation; plantar aspect. (b) Appearance of both hindlimbs immediately prior to amputation. Note the neurogenic muscle atrophy and hindlimb contracture. The orange arrows in (a) and (b) highlight the region of skin necrosis

case_images: fig1-2055116917691069
case_images: Areas of necrosis were evident on each hindlimb and both hocks were hyperextended (Figure 1).
case_images: CT image of a metastatic lesion (arrow) in the caudomedial musculature of the left hindlimb of case 1. Note the marked atrophy of the hindlimb musculature

case_images: The study demonstrated a focal lesion in the caudomedial musculature of the left hindlimb (Figure 2).
case_images: Transverse CT slice of the thorax of a cat with suspected multiple pulmonary carcinomas (case 1). Note the pulmonary masses (orange arrows), some of which are wedge-shaped, consistent with tumour emboli causing pulmonary infarcts

case_images: Two soft tissue pulmonary masses associated with the right caudal bronchus and extending into the right caudal and accessory lung lobes were also identified (Figure 3).

case_images: Necropsy photograph of the pulmonary lesions in case 2. The cranial tip of the left cranial lung lobe is dark brown (arrow) and sharply demarcated from normal tissue by a firm, irregular, pale tan, depressed lesion

case_images: fig4-2055116917691069
case_images: A few variably sized, pale tan, depressed focal lesions were scattered on the pleural surfaces of several lung lobes (Figure 4).

case_images: Plain lateral thoracic radiograph of case 3, showing a well-defined focal radiodensity in the caudal lung field (arrows)

case_images: PO). Plain radiographs of the digits and thorax revealed lysis of P3 of the third and fourth digits of the left hindlimb and a focal well-defined density in the right caudal lung field (Figure 5).

case_images: Nodular lesions were, however, evident within the temporalis muscle (Figure 6) and the cervical paraspinal musculature.
