Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old male Boerboel was diagnosed with high-grade lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. The dog was monitored closely, and various tests were conducted to examine the tumor's characteristics. Unfortunately, the outcome was not positive, as the case ended with a necropsy, which is an examination after death. This highlights the importance of early detection and treatment options for lymphoma in dogs.
