B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia in a miniature American Eskimo dog.

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia in a miniature American Eskimo dog. Can Vet J. 2019 Dec;60(12):1353-1355 Authors: Calvert J Abstract An 11-year-old neutered male miniature American Eskimo dog was presented for routine dental cleaning with moderately enlarged submandibular, prescapular, and popliteal lymph nodes. On pre-anesthetic blood analysis a moderate, poorly regenerative anemia and marked lymphocytosis were observed. Although cytologic evaluation of a lymph node aspirate was interpreted as lymphoma, a complete blood cell count, flow cytometric immunotyping of blood leukocytes, and serum electrophoresis identified B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Chemotherapy with chlorambucil was recommended. PMID: 31814644 [PubMed - in process]
