Abstract

A 2-year-old stallion was referred to the Department of Internal Medicine, Reproduction and Population Medicine of Ghent University with signs of lethargy and anorexia. Abdominal and thoracic ultrasound appeared normal. Biochemistry revealed severe liver dysfunction and haematology indicated a leucocytosis. Therefore, treatment with broad-spectrum antimicrobials and supportive perfusion therapy was initiated. After a few days severe quidding was observed. Oral examination identified a suspected mass of the soft palate. Radiographs confirmed the presence of a soft tissue mass in the left maxillary sinuses. Due to cost constraints, computed tomography (CT) could not be performed. As the clinical condition deteriorated, the stallion was euthanised. Post-mortem examination revealed an unusual, multicentric T-cell lymphoma, characterised by a primary, bilaterally symmetrical, severely invasive mass in the head with metastases in numerous lymph nodes and multiple thoracic and abdominal organs.

罕见的侵袭性t细胞淋巴瘤在一匹年轻的温血种马

一匹两岁的公马被送到根特大学的内科、生殖和人口医学部门，有嗜睡和厌食症的迹象。腹部和胸部超声显示正常。生化显示严重肝功能障碍，血液学显示白细胞增多。因此，开始使用广谱抗菌剂和支持灌注治疗。几天后，观察到严重的魁地奇。口腔检查发现疑似软腭肿块。x线片证实左侧上颌窦有软组织肿块。由于成本限制，不能进行计算机断层扫描（CT）。由于临床情况恶化，这匹公马被安乐死。尸检发现罕见的多中心t细胞淋巴瘤，特征为原发性，双侧对称，头部严重侵袭性肿块，并转移到许多淋巴结和多个胸部和腹部器官。

期刊介绍： Equine Veterinary Education (EVE) is the official journal of post-graduate education of both the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) and the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP). Equine Veterinary Education is a monthly, peer-reviewed, subscription-based journal, integrating clinical research papers, review articles and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to equids. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of equine medicine and surgery. The educational value of a submitted article is one of the most important criteria that are assessed when deciding whether to accept it for publication. Articles do not necessarily need to contain original or novel information but we welcome submission of this material. The educational value of an article may relate to articles published with it (e.g. a Case Report may not have direct educational value but an associated Clinical Commentary or Review Article published alongside it will enhance the educational value).
