Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old male Jindo dog was brought to the vet because he had a blockage in his intestines. During surgery, the vet found thickened areas and abnormal growths in the intestine, which were later diagnosed as multiple intestinal lymphoma, a type of cancer. The tumor cells were identified as B-cells, which are a type of white blood cell. After the surgery to remove the affected parts of the intestine, the dog was treated for the cancer, but the outcome details are not specified.

Abstract
A male, 5-year-old Jindo dog underwent enterectomy and enteroanastomosis due to ileus of the intestine at a local veterinary hospital. Grossly, the excised intestine showed markedly thickened multinodular masses in the serosal layer of the upper part, and soft-to-firm, cream-colored neoplastic masses that displayed extensive nodular mucosal protuberances into the lumen. The neoplastic masses were filled with large round cells that were ovoid in shape and they had pale and/or hyperchromatic nuclei. The neoplastic cells had mainly infiltrated into the mucosal and submucosal layers, and they had diffusely invaded the muscular and serosal layers. Therefore, the diagnosis of canine multiple intestinal malignant lymphomatous polyposis was made based on the gross and histopathological findings. The origin of these tumor cells was determined to be B-cells since they were positive for anti-CD20.
