A geriatric male great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) that was a resident at a raptor center was presented for examination because of stridor and weight loss. Results of physical examination, diagnostic imaging, and biopsy were consistent with disseminated lymphoma involving the oropharynx, neck region (including thyroid and parathyroid glands), keel, spleen, and liver. Attempts to treat the owl with chlorambucil failed, and the owl was euthanatized 5 months later. Neoplastic cells from this owl were immunoreactive to CD-3 antibody, suggesting the lymphoma was of T-cell origin.
一只居住在猛禽中心的老年雄性大角鸮（Bubo virginianus）因喘鸣和体重减轻前来接受检查。体格检查、诊断性影像学检查和活检结果均符合弥漫性淋巴瘤，累及口咽、颈部区域（包括甲状腺和甲状旁腺）、胸骨、脾脏和肝脏。用苯丁酸氮芥治疗这只猫头鹰的尝试失败，5个月后对其实施了安乐死。这只猫头鹰的肿瘤细胞对CD-3抗体呈免疫反应，提示淋巴瘤为T细胞起源。
