A 22-month-old castrated male ferret developed acute pelvic limb paresis. Radiographs and computed tomography revealed a soft tissue mass with associated bony lysis of L5, and ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirates suggested that it was a lymphoma. Treatment with prednisone at immunosuppressive doses did not produce any detectable improvement in the ferret's clinical signs and it became moribund less than two weeks after they developed. A postmortem biopsy confirmed the presence of a lymphoma which had invaded the vertebral bone. No viruses were detected by cell culture, or electron microscopy.
一只22个月大的去势雄性雪貂出现急性盆腔肢体轻瘫。X线片和计算机断层扫描显示有一个软组织肿块，并伴有L5椎体骨质溶解，超声引导下细针穿刺抽吸提示为淋巴瘤。给予免疫抑制剂量的泼尼松治疗后，雪貂的临床症状未出现任何可检测到的改善，且在症状出现后不到两周就奄奄一息了。尸检活检证实存在侵袭椎骨的淋巴瘤。通过细胞培养或电子显微镜未检测到病毒。
