Gastrite linfoplasmocítica em felino: relato de caso

Abstract

Introduction: Lymphoplasmacytic gastritis is a chronic gastritis characterized by an inflammatory cell infiltrate, which may be idiopathic in origin. The most common clinical sign is chronic emesis. The diagnosis is established through endoscopic examination with biopsy and histopathological analysis. Differential diagnoses include gastric lymphoma and drug-induced gastritis. Treatment is based on dietary management, symptomatic therapy, and, in more severe cases, immunosuppressive therapy. This report aims to present a clinical case of lymphoplasmacytic gastritis in a domestic cat, highlighting the importance of diagnosis and prolonged therapeutic monitoring. The patient underwent treatment with nutritional support, antiemetics, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants, showing favorable clinical progress, although other concomitant diseases were also present. The case demonstrates the complexity of managing lymphoplasmacytic gastritis and the need for an individualized approach.
