This report describes the diagnostic radiographic and CT features of pleuropneumonia in a cat with wet type of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). In a 1 year-old cat presented with respiratory distress, pulmonary mass, thickened pleural wall with mass-like structures, and a large amount of pleural effusion were identified on radiography, ultrasonography, and CT. About two months later, in addition to the pre-existing lesions, multiple nodules had developed on the intestine and left kidney. The cat was diagnosed with pleuropneumonia caused by FIP through histologic examination and immunohistochemistry. Pleuropneumonia is rarely reported in cats with FIP, and only one cat with non-effusive FIP had pyogranulomatous pneumonia as consolidated lung lobe. In the present case, pleuropneumonia was detected as multiple mass-like lesions on diagnostic imaging.
