Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Canine Oncology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting and diarrhea are common in dogs.
  • Canine lymphoma is a prevalent malignancy with various clinical presentations.
  • Multicentric lymphoma can affect multiple organ systems, including the gastrointestinal tract.

Observation:

  • A 5-year-old German Shepherd exhibited a 5-week history of vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and weight loss.
  • Abdominal radiographs revealed an unusual corrugated appearance in an intestinal loop.
  • Abdominal ultrasound showed similar corrugated patterns with alternating hyperechoic and hypoechoic bands.

Findings:

  • Enlarged abdominal and thoracic lymph nodes were detected.
  • A thoracic mass was identified.

  • Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspirates of mesenteric lymph nodes were highly suggestive of lymphoma.
  • Postmortem examination confirmed multicentric lymphoma involving the gastrointestinal tract.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of advanced imaging techniques in diagnosing canine lymphoma.
    • The findings emphasize the potential for gastrointestinal tract involvement in multicentric lymphoma.
    • Accurate diagnosis through imaging and cytology is crucial for appropriate management of canine lymphoma.
