Hodgkin's‐like Lymphoma in a Dog

Abstract

This is the first reported case of canine Hodgkin's‐like lymphoma in Japan. Tumor growth involved the lymph nodes and multiple visceral organs. Histopathological examination revealed that the tumor consisted of a large number of typical Reed‐Sternberg cells with symmetrically arranged nuclei, the so‐called “mirror‐image” cells, intermingled with various numbers of inflammatory cells and globule leucocytes.
