HS of the central nervous system (CNS) is a very rare neoplastic condition in cats. Although a few case reports mention MRI, to our knowledge, the characterisation of MRI features of feline CNS HS have not been investigated in detail. Therefore, the aim of this case report was to describe the MRI characteristics in a feline HS involving not only the CNS, but also the fronto-temporal bone, temporal muscle and the regional lymph nodes. In particular, aggressive neoplastic bone invasion was a novel finding.
