Kidney (porcine)
1
A new case of lymphoma in a porcine carcass
The case consisted of a 2-3 years old sow with multiple, whitish, nodular lesions in the kidneys and the liver. The latter was considerably enlarged.
This neoplasm can be sporadic or familiar, if associated to a recessive autosomal mutation. It can be detected from the age of two months and the affected animal's mean survival time is of 4 to 6 months. Most of the cases are diagnosed at the abattoir.
The typical lesions are:
- Widespread enlargement of lymph nodes (particularly the mesenteric).
- Splenomegaly.
- Multifocal renal lesions are frequent (particulary in the sporadic form).
- Hepatomegaly.
- The stomach and intestines can also be involved.

En aquest cas es va realitzar una immunohistoquimica per a CD3 que va resultar positiva.
Es classifica, per tant, com a limfoma de cèl·lules T.
