Lymphoma is the most common malignancy in cats and a very frequent diagnosis. It has a range of presentations that poses a diagnostic and treatment dilemma to the clinician. Lymphoma can present in many different forms, and the clinician should be alert to the possibility of this condition in any cat regardless of age, breed or viral status. Treatment can be rewarding with rapid responses often leading to a reversal of life threatening situations within hours or days of commencing appropriate therapy in the practice therapy. Histological diagnosis and full staging are required to tailor treatment choices to the individual cat. All samples for diagnostic purposes should be obtained before commencing therapy, including glucocorticoid treatment. Communicating the evidence to the owner in a positive, knowledgeable and compassionate way and presenting a fair and realistic overview of what is to be expected is very important and necessary to achieve an informed consent and owner involvement in decision making.
