Feline injection-site sarcoma (FISS), also sometimes also referred to as Vaccine-Associated Sarcoma (VAS), is a type of malignant cancer that has been linked with the use of certain vaccines.
FISS is incredibly aggressive. If you notice a lump on your cat anywhere near a spot where they have previously received a vaccine please take them to the vet for a biopsy as quickly as possible. Do not delay in getting a tissue biopsy, because waiting even a few days can result in the tumor growing too large to safely and completely remove.
Disease Information Sites
There isn’t currently a website devoted directly to FISS, but there is a good description on Wikipedia.
