Abstract
Lymphocytic leukemia and lymphosarcoma were diagnosed in a rabbit with lethargy, emaciation, and pallor. The diagnosis was made on the bases of results of hematologic analysis, cytologic evaluation of a bone marrow specimen, and histologic examination. The lymphosarcoma was identified to be of T-cell origin. Leukemia is rarely diagnosed in rabbits, although lymphosarcoma is fairly common in this species.
