The panesteatite is a disease of inflammatory nature that reaches adipose tissue, especially in cats that receive food rich in unsaturated fatty acids or insufficient in vitamin E. A feline male SRD, with 9 years of age was attended with vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, edema and history of progressive weight loss. The animals were fed daily with small portions of liver or canned fish. Necropsy showed up myriads of nodules, firm, whitish in adipose tissue and abdominal subcutaneous measuring 0.5 to 1.3 cm in diameter. Histopathological examination revealed severe steatonecrosis. The history, clinical signs, and gross and microscopic findings were consistent with feline pansteatitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
