Abstract

A young adult feral cat presented to the Champaign County Humane Society with a subcutaneous mass near the stifle. The mass was aspirated. Chains of paired cocci organisms were identified, consistent with Dermatophilus congolensis . The identity of these organisms was confirmed by culture and polymerase chain reaction.
