What should I know about histiocytic sarcoma in cats?

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your question.

Histiocytic sarcoma in cats is generally uncommon. There are a few different forms, and some are more worrisome/life-threatening than others. Determining this would require biopsy (collecting a small piece of the affected tissue) and sending it for review by a pathologist at the lab. This will give you the information necessary to know how to proceed, as well as an idea of prognosis.

I hope this is helpful for you, and best of luck!
