Pulmonary involvement in disseminated lymphosarcoma is comparatively common. Vieta and Craver (1941) found an incidence of nearly 25% by radiographic assessment in a series of 239 patients with lymphosarcoma* and a similar proportion of a smaller number coming to necropsy. This figure agrees closely with the post-mortem incidence reported by Robbins (1953) in an even larger series. More recentl...

LYMPHOMATOUS tumours involving the lids and orbit have been recognized and repeatedly reported in the literature for many years; intra-ocular involvement on the contrary is rare if the lymphomatous infiltrations associated with lymphatic leukaemia are excluded. Kukain (1935) and Triebenstein (1920) have each described a case of uveal lymphosarcoma complicated by secondary glaucoma, and other is...

Lymphosarcoma (lymphoma) is a malignant cancer that involves the lymphoid system. In a healthy animal, the lymphoid system is an important part of the body’s immune system defense against infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria. Lymphoid tissue normally is found in many different parts of the body including lymph nodes, liver, spleen, gastrointestinal tract and skin. Lymphosarcoma is cla...

The words “canine lymphosarcoma” invoke images of a middleaged dog with extremely enlarged lymph nodes or a chronic skin or gastrointestinal condition that worsens despite therapy. Similar to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in humans, canine lymphosarcoma (LSA) is a spontaneous neoplasm resulting from the clonal proliferation of malignant lymphocytes within solid tissues [1]. Lymphosarcoma (also referre...

Two unusual cases of primary lymphocytic lymphosarcoma of the lung are presented. The first patient is a 5-year-old girl who showed a massive involvement of the entire right lung by tumour. She was treated by radiotherapy followed by cyclophosphamide and was alive and well one year later. The second patient was an adult man who presented clinically with a tumour of the chest wall. Necropsy reve...

LTERATIONS in serum protein demonstrable by electrophoretic analysis have been noted fairly frequently in cases of lymphosarcoma, lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin’s disease. Abnormal proteins such as cryoglobulins and myeloma-type proteins also have been observed in the serum of an occasional patient with these conditions. in this study we attempted to determine whether disturbances in serum gl...

A clinico-morphological study of twelve patients of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, diagnosed on bone marrow biopsy, is presented. They manifested with pyrexia of uncertain origin and/or unexplainable anaemia. These patients did not show any superficial lymphadenopa-thy, mediastinal lymph node enlargement or a specific mass in the abdomen. Eleven patients showed enlargement of the liver, whereas, elev...

A 10-year-old, intact, female yellow-naped Amazon parrot was examined because of anemia, lymphocytic leukocytosis, regurgitation, and weight loss. A positive fecal occult blood and monoclonal globulinopathy were present. A distended proventriculus and diffusely thickened loops of small intestine with irregular luminal surfaces were identified with contrast radiography and contrast computed tomo...
