Abstract
A 2‐year‐2‐month‐old, male Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) was referred for ulceration and encrustation of the abdominal skin. The affected skin was surgically excised. Histological examination revealed changes consistent with an epitheliotropic T‐cell lymphoma. Two months after the surgery, no clinical signs of disease or tumour recurrence were evident. When patients with consistent clinical signs are presented, cutaneous neoplasia should be considered, especially in older animals. Surgical excision may offer short‐term remission for epitheliotropic lymphoma.
期刊介绍:
Vet Record Case Reports is an online resource that publishes articles in all fields of veterinary medicine and surgery so that veterinary professionals, researchers and others can easily find important information on both common and rare conditions. Articles may be about a single animal, herd, flock or other group of animals managed together. Common cases that present a diagnostic, ethical or management challenge, or that highlight aspects of mechanisms of injury, pharmacology or histopathology are deemed of particular educational value. All articles are peer reviewed and copy edited before publication.
