This study reports the first known case of canine gallbladder lymphoma in a miniature dachshund. The dog survived for 24 months post-surgery and chemotherapy, despite complications.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Medicine
- Oncology
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Biliary tract obstruction is a serious condition in dogs.
- Lymphoma can affect various organs, but gallbladder involvement is rare.
Observation:
- A 7-year-old miniature dachshund presented with anorexia, jaundice, and leucocytosis.
- Diagnostic imaging suggested a biliary obstruction, leading to cholecystectomy.
Findings:
- Histopathology revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the gallbladder and common bile duct.
- The dog experienced complications including bile leakage and adverse reactions to chemotherapy.
Implications:
- This case highlights gallbladder lymphoma as a potential diagnosis in dogs with obstructive biliary disease.
- Further research is needed to understand canine gallbladder lymphoma and optimize treatment strategies.
