OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of feline sebaceous @entity3298 and @entity14663 , and its successful treatment with topical @entity1718 . ANIMAL: A 5-year-old, male castrated Norwegian Forest cat was presented with a progressive @entity1909 . METHODS: Clinical examination and histopathological examination of skin biopsies. RESULTS: There was severe, multifocal, @entity14663 and perifollicular @entity1909 , moderate @entity5656 and sebaceous @entity3298 on histopathology. Sebaceous glands were either absent or almost completely effaced by a dense lymphocytic infiltrate. Clinical signs began in spring on the face and neck and progressed over an 18 month period to involve the legs. Initially, topical and systemic antibacterial therapy for a mild @entity6124 resulted in partial clinical response. There was no improvement with oral omega 6 @entity1718 and surface cleaning. Treatment with a spot-on product containing essential oils, smoothing agents and @entity270 as the sole therapy was associated with a good - but incomplete - clinical response over a 6 month period, with hair regrowth and a marked decrease in @entity1909 . This improvement was sustained until 12  months later when a severe deep @entity6793 with associated @entity448 and @entity308 occurred. This was symptomatically treated and the cat remained clinically stable for a further 18  months. Periocular and perinasal seborrhoea was a persistent feature. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Topical essential @entity844 therapy may offer a viable alternative to @entity205 , which has been reported for the successful treatment of this rare disease in @entity468 .
