This study aimed to characterize and describe the different lymphoma types and anatomical forms in cats in Hong Kong. The clinical and histopathological data of cats diagnosed with lymphoma by cytology and/or histopathology were collected from a large diagnostic laboratory in Hong Kong. In total, 444 cats were diagnosed with lymphoma over four years (2019-2022). Like other countries where there is a low prevalence of FeLV infection, the predominant form of lymphoma was gastrointestinal (abdominal). Nasopharyngeal and peripheral nodal lymphoma were the second and third most common forms of lymphoma. The large cell/high-grade lymphoma type was much more common than the low-grade/small cell lymphoma in the study population. Domestic short hair was the most commonly affected breed in our study ( = 259/444). Among the cats with identified T/B-cell status, B-cell lymphoma ( = 61/81) prevailed as the most common phenotype. This study describes and characterizes the different types of feline lymphoma in cats in Hong Kong, adding valuable information to the body of knowledge.
本研究旨在对香港猫的不同淋巴瘤类型和解剖学形式进行特征描述。通过细胞学和/或组织病理学诊断为淋巴瘤的猫的临床和组织病理学数据，来自香港一家大型诊断实验室。在四年时间里（2019 - 2022年），共有444只猫被诊断为淋巴瘤。与其他猫白血病病毒（FeLV）感染率较低的国家一样，淋巴瘤的主要形式是胃肠道（腹部）淋巴瘤。鼻咽部和外周淋巴结淋巴瘤分别是第二和第三常见的淋巴瘤形式。在研究群体中，大细胞/高级别淋巴瘤类型比低级别/小细胞淋巴瘤更为常见。家猫短毛品种是我们研究中最常受影响的品种（259/444）。在确定了T/B细胞状态的猫中，B细胞淋巴瘤（61/81）是最常见的表型。本研究描述并表征了香港猫中不同类型的猫淋巴瘤，为知识体系增添了有价值的信息。
