AB  - CASE SUMMARY: A 17-year-old female neutered domestic shorthair cat presented for 
      several days of reduced faecal volume and a rectal prolapse. Physical examination 
      revealed a 2 cm rectal prolapse, hepatomegaly and a low body condition score of 
      3/9. Haematology and biochemistry revealed a mild non-regenerative anaemia 
      (haematocrit 24.5%; reference interval [RI] 30.3-52.3%), a mild mature 
      neutrophilia (16.21 x 10(9)/l; RI 1.48-10.29 x 10(9)/l) and a mild increase in 
      alanine aminotransferase activity (222 IU/l; RI 12-130 IU/l). Abdominal 
      radiographs identified hepatomegaly. The rectal prolapse was reduced under 
      general anaesthesia. Abdominal ultrasound identified a caecocolic intussusception 
      and a large hepatic mass. Thoracic radiographs were unremarkable. Hepatic 
      fine-needle aspirate cytology revealed well-differentiated hepatocytes. A 
      typhlectomy was performed and the quadrate liver lobe, with mass, was resected. 
      Gross examination of the caecum identified a focal polyp; histopathology showed 
      moderate plasmacytic-lymphocytic typhlitis and reactive mucosal-associated 
      lymphoid tissue. The hepatic mass was diagnosed as a well-differentiated 
      hepatocellular carcinoma. Six weeks postoperatively the cat had gained 0.5 kg, 
      had an improved body condition score of 5/9 and resolution of clinical signs. The 
      cat died acutely 1 year later from an unknown cause. RELEVANCE AND NOVEL 
      INFORMATION: Caecocolic intussusception is rare in cats and uncommon in dogs. 
      This is the third report in a cat and the first associated with a caecal polyp. 
      As reported in dogs, the outcome following surgery was good. Hepatocellular 
      carcinoma is a rarely reported feline neoplasm, which may have a good prognosis 
      with surgical resection.
