A male, 5-year-old Jindo dog underwent enterectomy
and enteroanastomosis due to ileus of the intestine at a
local veterinary hospital. Grossly, the excised intestine
showed markedly thickened multinodular masses in the
serosal layer of the upper part, and soft-to-firm, creamcolored
neoplastic masses that displayed extensive nodular
mucosal protuberances into the lumen. The neoplastic
masses were filled with large round cells that were ovoid
in shape and they had pale and/or hyperchromatic nuclei.
The neoplastic cells had mainly infiltrated into the
mucosal and submucosal layers, and they had diffusely
invaded the muscular and serosal layers. Therefore, the
diagnosis of canine multiple intestinal malignant
lymphomatous polyposis was made based on the gross
and histopathological findings. The origin of these tumor
cells was determined to be B-cells since they were positive
for anti-CD20.
