This report describes the pathological findings in an adult female short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) stranded alive in the Canary Islands. Necropsy examination revealed the presence of a nodular neoplastic growth in the central nervous system (CNS) at the level of the thalamus. Microscopical examination revealed the mass to be a lymphoma and immunohistochemical labelling demonstrated a T-cell origin. No significant lesions were observed in other organs, including lymphoid organs. This is the first report of a primary T-cell lymphoma in the CNS in cetaceans.
本报告描述了一头活体搁浅在加那利群岛的成年雌性短吻真海豚（瓶鼻海豚）的病理检查结果。尸检发现丘脑水平的中枢神经系统（CNS）存在结节性肿瘤生长。显微镜检查显示该肿块为淋巴瘤，免疫组化标记显示其起源于T细胞。在包括淋巴器官在内的其他器官未观察到明显病变。这是鲸类动物中枢神经系统原发性T细胞淋巴瘤的首例报告。
