Equine lymphoma

We are used to have plenty of information on lymphoid malignancies in different domestic species, either through revisions and updates classification systems or concerning treatment protocols. In horses, however, although it is the most common malignancy, much of the information is based on isolated cases. In this study, the authors evaluated the application of the WHO classification system of lymphomas since the morphological, immunophenotypic and clinical perspective, identifying 14 subtypes of neoplasia. The most common tumors are derived peripheral T-cell lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells.
