A 5-year-old Thoroughbred mare presented with a 4 week history of weight loss, fever and leukopenia. Rectally, a large active foetus, thickened spleen and an abdominal mass were palpated. Leukopenia, mild anaemia, marked thrombocytopenia and hyperfibrinogenaemia were found. Cytology and cytochemical staining of a bone marrow aspirate supported a diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukaemia. The mare deteriorated despite medical therapy and was humanely euthanased.
一匹5岁的纯种母马出现体重减轻、发热和白细胞减少4周的病史。直肠检查时，可触诊到一个大的活动胎儿、增厚的脾脏和一个腹部肿块。发现白细胞减少、轻度贫血、明显的血小板减少和纤维蛋白原血症。骨髓穿刺液的细胞学和细胞化学染色支持急性髓性白血病的诊断。尽管进行了药物治疗，母马的病情仍恶化，最终实施了安乐死。
