Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the incident and clinical, morphological and immunological aspects of canine T-cell lymphomas. From 71 canine lymphomas, 38 were classified by immunohistochemistry as T-cell lymphomas. According to the Working Formulation and Kiel classification, 18 were classified as intermediate-grade, 15 as high-grade and 5 as low-grade. The pattern of lymphomatous proliferation was diffuse in all 38 animals. T-cell lymphoma was more common in defined breeds (24/38), such as Boxers, English Cockers and Rottweilers. The occurrence of T-cell lymphoma in males (21/38) was greater than in females and the median age was 5.8 years (1 to 13 years). For the anatomical classification and the clinical staging of T-cell lymphomas, the most common were multicentric form (29/38) and stage IV (15/38) and III (14/38), respectively.
