This session will provide an overview of major forms of lymphoma and leukemia in dogs and cats, focusing on subtypes that can be diagnosed by flow cytometry. Among canine neoplasms, this session will discuss the breed predispositions, clinicopathologic features and outcomes of subtypes of lymphoid malignancies. This session will also discuss the strengths and limitations of flow cytometry in diagnosing lymphoid malignancies, highlighting differences between canine and feline testing.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the major subtypes of lymphoma and leukemia in dogs.
Identify potential diagnoses for lymphocytosis in dogs and cats and describe the utility of flow cytometry immunophenotyping to rank differentials.
Identify when flow cytometry immunophenotyping is indicated in dogs and cats with suspicion for lymphoproliferative disease.
