Lymphoma is the most commonly observed neoplasm in cats, classified according to its anatomical location, and due to its similarity to that of humans, it is called non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These types of neoplasms are considered the main causes of death in this species. Feline carriers of viruses such as Feline Viral Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and/or Feline Leukemia (FeLV), may develop lymphoma early when compared to other seronegative animals. The clinical signs associated with lymphoma depend on the type of neoplasm the animal has, however, the most obvious non-pathognomonic clinical signs include weight loss, anorexia, pale mucous membranes, vomiting, lethargy, and neurological signs. The diagnosis is based on the clinical history of the animal and complementary tests, so it is essential that the clinical veterinarian has the knowledge to make an accurate diagnosis and provide early treatment and appropriate monitoring for the patient. The most indicated treatment is chemotherapy with multiple drugs, usually well tolerated by cats, with better response and with two available protocols, most commonly used as the COP and CHOP. We approached the lymphoma classified as extranodal, located in the nasal region of a feline, adult, srd, 2 years old, who presented deformity of the nasal plane and sneezing accompanied by epistaxis. The prognosis depends on the animal's clinical status, the disease's evolution and the treatment protocol used.
