Abstract

Lymphoma is now more often diagnosed in dogs. Currently, there is still limited information on the clinicopathological characteristics of canine lymphoma cases. The objectives of this study were to determine the clinicopathological features of canine lymphoma cases presented to the University Veterinary Hospital (UVH), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). The records of canine lymphoma patients from the year 2016 to 2020 were obtained from the Haematology and Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory, Veterinary Laboratory Services Unit, UPM. One hundred and eleven cases were retrieved and compiled according to the morphological characteristics of lymphoma, and haematological and clinical biochemical findings. Of these cases, the most common cytological features were numerous lymphoglandular bodies (52.3%), mitotic figures (41.4%), pleomorphic lymphoid cells (28%), an abundance of lymphoid cells (24.3%) and variable-sized lymphoid cells (19%). Among the common haematological and biochemistry findings in canine lymphoma were anaemia (25.2%), hyperglobulinaemia (16.2%), azotaemia (12.6%) and lymphopaenia (9%). Among cases with anaemia, 16.2% were responsive and 9% were non-responsive. The urinalysis revealed that lymphoma dogs had proteinuria (4.5%) and haematuria (2.7%). Thus, the most common clinicopathological feature of canine lymphoma cases presented to UVH was anaem1a.
