  • Title: T cell lymphoma in the lumbar spine of a domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo).
    Author: Hanley CS, Wilson GH, Frank P, James DK, Carmichael KP, Pesti D, Ritchie B.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 2004 Sep 11; 155(11):329-32. PubMed ID: 15470969.
    Abstract:
    A 22-month-old castrated male ferret developed acute pelvic limb paresis. Radiographs and computed tomography revealed a soft tissue mass with associated bony lysis of L5, and ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirates suggested that it was a lymphoma. Treatment with prednisone at immunosuppressive doses did not produce any detectable improvement in the ferret's clinical signs and it became moribund less than two weeks after they developed. A postmortem biopsy confirmed the presence of a lymphoma which had invaded the vertebral bone. No viruses were detected by cell culture, or electron microscopy.
