Summary
This case report details the first diagnosis of multicentric lymphoma in a donkey, involving the intestines and bone marrow. Further research is needed to understand lymphoma's low frequency in donkeys.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Pathology
- Equine Neoplasia
Background:
- Lymphoma is common in horses but rare in donkeys.
- This report describes a unique case in a geriatric female donkey.
Observation:
- The donkey presented with chronic lameness, emaciation, and laminitis.
- Post-mortem revealed intestinal masses and bone marrow infiltration in the femur.
Findings:
- Histopathology confirmed lymphoma in the intestine and femur.
- Immunohistochemistry identified it as a T-cell lymphoma (CD3+).
Implications:
- This is the first documented case of multicentric lymphoma in donkeys.
- Further studies are required to understand the low incidence of lymphoma in this species.

Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Primary lymphoid organs are pivotal in the formation, development, and maturation of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that serve as the backbone of our immune system. This crucial function underscores their fundamental role in maintaining our overall health and immunity. The two primary lymphoid organs of prime importance are the red bone marrow and the thymus.
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...

Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
