Abstract

A 7 years old, female and neutered ferret (Mustela putorius furo) was presented to local animal hospital due to lethargy, anorexia and hypothermia. Radiography, ultrasonography and blood test were performed. On the basis of clinical signs and tests, this case was presumed to be lymphoma. In consideration of this ferret's condition, chemotherapy was carried out for the treatment. However, the ferret died a few days. After necropsy, metastatic tumors were observed over abdomen. All tumors were packed with homologous lymphocytes with pleomorphic changes and numerous mitotic figures. Consequently, this masses were diagnosed as B-cell gastrointestinal lymphoma, which were negative for CD3 on immunohistochemistry.
