- Eosinophilic plaque - on the skin of the medial thighs and abdomen.
- Eosinophilic granuloma - on the posterior aspect of the rear legs of young cats and also found on the tongue, palate and oral mucosa.
Eosinophilic granulomas of the oral cavity appear as yellow/pink raised linear lesions. They can occur on the oral mucosa, hard palate mucosa, soft palate, or the base of the tongue. Cats with eosinophilic lesions of the mouth often have concurrent skin lesions.
