Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old Thoroughbred stallion was brought in because he had lumps on his scrotum. Tests on samples taken from the lumps revealed that they were a type of cancer called T-cell lymphosarcoma, which affects the lymphoid tissue. Unfortunately, the stallion did not receive any treatment and was later euthanized.
Abstract
Multiple cutaneous lymphosarcomas were diagnosed in an 8-year-old Thoroughbred stallion presented for evaluation of lumps on its scrotum. Histological examination of skin biopsy samples showed a homogenous pattern of lymphoid tissue suggestive of a T-cell lymphosarcoma. Immuno-histochemical tests showed a positive reaction to Rabbit/Anti-Human T-Cell, CD3 antibodies confirming T-cell lymphosarcoma. The animal was not treated and was subsequently euthanased.
