Thirteen cases of lymphoid neoplasia were examined in koalas from New South Wales and Queensland. Haematological and biochemical data were collected from 2 cases while all were subjected to detailed necropsies. Affected koalas were adults of both sexes and the disease had a variable time course. The 2 koalas examined haematologically were leukaemic. On a morphological basis, 5 cases were classified as multicentric, 7 cases as abdominal (but not necessarily with alimentary tract involvement) and one case as solitary. In most cases, the neoplastic cells appeared to be either lymphoblasts or prolymphocytes.
对来自新南威尔士州和昆士兰州的树袋熊身上的13例淋巴组织瘤进行了检查。从2例身上收集了血液学和生化数据，同时对所有病例都进行了详细的尸检。受影响的树袋熊为成年雌雄个体，疾病病程各异。接受血液学检查的2只树袋熊患有白血病。从形态学角度来看，5例被归类为多中心型，7例为腹部型（但不一定累及消化道），1例为孤立型。在大多数病例中，肿瘤细胞似乎是淋巴母细胞或原淋巴细胞。
