Plain-English summary
A group of 7 dogs with suspected digestive issues underwent endoscopy to investigate alimentary lymphoma, a type of cancer affecting the intestines. During the procedure, one dog had a mass in the rectum, while others showed irregular changes in the duodenum, which is part of the small intestine. In some cases, the wall of the duodenum appeared thicker than normal. Further tests confirmed that the cancerous cells originated from T cells. The dogs received appropriate treatment based on their specific findings, but the abstract does not specify the outcomes for each dog.

Abstract
Alimentary lymphoma was evaluated endoscopically in 7 dogs and a histopathological examination was made to detect the origin of neoplastic lymphocytes in 5 dogs. A solitary mass in the rectum (1 case), irregular cobblestone appearance in the duodenum (4 cases) and a moderate irregular appearance resembling lymphocytic-plasmacytic enteritis (2 cases) were endoscopically detected. Endoscopic ultrasonography demonstrated increased thickness of the duodenal wall in 2 cases examined. Neoplastic lymphocytes of alimentary lymphoma proved to originate in T cells in all 5 cases examined by immunohistochemical analysis.
