Abstract
Feline vaccine-associated sarcomas (VASs) are locally aggressive tumors that have presented
many challenges to the veterinary profession over the last decade. These tumors are most
commonly associated with the administration of killed adjuvanted vaccines, but the etiopathogenesis
is yet to be confirmed. Ideal management involves early detection and multimodality
treatment, including wide surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy. Still, this
approach has only achieved modest success. At this point in time, efforts to manage this
problem are focused on prevention. This paper presents the case of a 7-year-old spayed female
Siamese cat with a recurrent vaccine associated sarcoma. Her presentation is typical of those
seen at referral institutions, and will be used to illustrate the process of diagnosis and
considerations for management of the disease.
