Abstract:
Clinical, cytological and pathological findings in three cases of large granular lymphoma in a dog and two cats are presented. These tumors consist of large granular lymphocytes, which have been in part classified as natural killer cells, based on their phenotype and functional aspects. It is likely that such tumors are more frequent than commonly appreciated, because they are only recognized as such in cytological preparations or in electron microscopy.

Classification of Leukocytes
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granular leukocytes, comprising 50-70% of all leukocytes. They feature small, evenly distributed granules and a...
Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
