TLDR A cat with sebaceous adenitis improved after treatment with shampoo, ciclosporin, and fatty acids.
The document reported a case of sebaceous adenitis in a 12-year-old female cat in Curitiba, Brazil, characterized by hypotrichosis, alopecia, and itching. Despite normal dermatological tests, histopathology confirmed the absence of sebaceous glands and mild inflammatory infiltrate, leading to a diagnosis of sebaceous adenitis. Treatment with emollient shampoo, ciclosporin, and fatty acid-based products resulted in regression of symptoms after one month. The case highlighted similarities with canine sebaceous adenitis and emphasized the rarity and diagnostic challenges of this condition in cats.
