Primary B-Cell Lymphoma of Submandibular Lymph Node in a Water Deer (Hydropotes inermis)

Abstract We describe a B-cell lymphoma of a submandibular lymph node with metastasis to the lung and facial subcutaneous tissues in a water deer (Hydropotes inermis). Neoplastic cells contained pleomorphic lymphocytes that were positive for CD79a, consistent with B-cell lymphoma. PCR for bovine leukemia virus was negative.
