Özet

Peritoneal tetrathyridiosis in a 6-year-old male Siamese cat is described. Abdominal distension and mass were determined at clinical examination. Parasitic materials, which were free in the peritoneum and attached to the inner body wall and viscera, were viewed macroscopically. Microscopically chronic multiple pyogranulomatous peritonitis, hepatitis and splenitis were observed. Parasites were identified as tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides sp., probably Mesocestoides lineatus.
