Multicentric Lymphoma in Majorera goat: a case report

Abstract

Few studies about lymphoma in goats exist, which means that little is know about this pathology in this species. A recent attempt was made to better classify the disease[42], limited by the data available. This case report describes a lymphoma in a Majorera goat that exhibited a marked decrease in its body condition without diahrrea and was eventually euthanized. A severely enlarged deep inguinal lymph node was found during the necropsy, and histological study diagnosed its nature to be a neoplasia. Further examinations revealed neoplastic lymphocytes in other lymph nodes and organs.
