Idiopathic sterile pyogranuloma in three domestic cats 2018-05-15 .txt text/plain 2531 149 45 Pyogranulomatous inflammation has been extensively described in cats, in particular in cases of feline infectious peritonitis and also associated with Mycobacteria, Actinomyces, Nocardia, Rhodococcus and fungal infections. In this case series we describe the clinical presentation, histopathology and outcome of three cases of feline idiopathic sterile steroid‐responsive pyogranuloma with different presentation and different locations of the lesion, but with the common feature of having a mass with no superficial skin involvement. We describe the clinical presentation and outcome of three cases of feline idiopathic sterile pyogranuloma with different presentation and locations, but with the common picture of a mass with no superficial skin involvement. The 16s rRNA PCR for Mycobacteria species in fresh, frozen or even in paraffin-embedded tissue sample is considered a very sensitive and specific test for diagnosis of lepromatosis/mycobacteriosis in cats compared to histopathology and ZN staining, so the possibility of a false negative is unlikely (Hughes et al. ./cache/cord-306656-cbtf2y2f.txt ./txt/cord-306656-cbtf2y2f.txt
