Long-term complete remission in a cat with large granular lymphocyte lymphoma by nimustine treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 9-year-old neutered male Munchkin cat presented to our clinic with lethargy and anorexia. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed multiple enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes. Cytology immunocytochemical staining suggested large granular lymphocyte (LGL) lymphoma derived from cytotoxic T cells. Treatment nimustine (ACNU) (25 mg/m2, intravenously, every 3 weeks) resulted in long-term complete remission over 807 days. The only adverse event associated ACNU was grade 1 neutropenia. To the best of knowledge, this is first report survival a treated for more than 2 years.
