Abstract   

Aim of this paper is to report the first case of a feline cystic adrenocortical tumor. A 9-year-old, castrated male shorthair cat was referred for an abdominal mass accidentally palpated by the owner. Ultrasound showed a large inhomogeneous cystic mass close to the left kidney. A massive ablation of the mass was performed. Four days after surgery, the cat was severely azotemic and presented signs of multiple organ dysfunction. The cat was euthanized the 7th day after surgery. Histopathological examination was consistent for adrenocortical serous cystadenoma.

Key words: Adenoma, Adrenal gland, Cat
