Abstract

O linfoma é uma neoplasia com origem nos tecidos linfóides sólidos e bastante freqüentes em cães. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever os sinais clínicos dos cães com diagnóstico linfoma citológico e/ou histopatológico, atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da FMVZ de Botucatu - SP. Os dados obtidos foram retirados dos prontuários de 54 cães com linfoma, atendidos num período de 28 meses (fevereiro de 1997 a maio de 1999) no referido hospital. A manifestação clínica mais comum foi linfoadenopatia generalizada em 87,04% dos cães. Os sinais clínicos também incluíram apatia (68,52%), perda de peso (68,52%) e hiporexia (42,59%). Os resultados permitem concluir que os sinais clínicos do linfoma canino são variados e inespecíficos.

Clinical signs of the canine lymphoma

Abstract

Canine lymphoma, one of the most frequently detected tumors in dogs, is a neoplasia originating in lymphoid tissues. Over a period of 28 months (February 1997 - May 1999), 54 dogs with diagnosis of lymphoma were evaluated at the Veterinary Hospital of Botucatu, SP. The objective was to describe the clinical findings of dogs with lymphomas. Lymphadenopathy was the clinical finding of highest incidence (87.04%) among the animals studied. Apathy (68.52%), weight loss (68.52%) and hyporexia (42.59%) were the most frequent clinical findings. We conclude that the clinical findings vary as a function of anatomical classification and clinical staging of the tumor.
