  • Title: Lymphosarcoma and associated immune-mediated hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia in horses.
    Author: Reef VB, Dyson SS, Beech J.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1984 Feb 01; 184(3):313-7. PubMed ID: 6546561.
    Abstract:
    Three horses with equine lymphosarcoma were examined because of clinical signs including chronic weight loss, respiratory distress, peripheral edema, and chronic colic. Clinicopathologic findings included evidence of an immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia also was diagnosed in 1 of the horses and suspected in another. One horse died in spite of treatment, 1 died 5 hours after surgical removal of a tumor encircling the jejunum, and 1 was euthanatized because of deteriorating condition. Necropsy of each horse revealed extensive neoplastic infiltration of peripheral lymph nodes and abdominal or thoracic viscera with neoplastic lymphocytes.
