3 Signalment: TONY Canine, Female, Dalmatian, 8 yr- old, 17 kg Clinical history Anorexia & vomiting for 4 wks Generalized lymphadenopathy Mandibular LN 4x4, 4x3 cm Superficial inguinal LN 2x2.5 cm Popliteal LN 1.5x1.5, 2x2 cm Prefemoral LN 3x3 cm

4 How do you proceed with diagnosis?

5 Give your differential diagnosis!

6 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Inflammation: Acute lymphadenitis Granulomatous lymphadenitis Hyperplasia: reactive hyperplastic lymphadenitis Neoplasia Lymphoma Metastatic tumor to lymph node Etc.

7 Which tests do you want to perform for diagnosis?

8 Cytology Biopsy X-ray CT-scan/ ultrasound Blood profile Bacterial culture & sensitivity Etc..

9 Cytology: majority of pleomorphic lymphoblastic cells, mild anisocytosis, 1-2 mitosis/ HPF Buffy coat smear: Presence of prolymphocytes in peripheral blood Biopsy LN : Lymphoma

10 Moderate bronchointerstitial lung pattern Splenomegaly with soft tissue density at splenic tail

11 Multicentric Bilateral and/symmetrical peripheral lymphadenopathy. ±Tumor metastasis to liver, spleen, tonsil and bone marrow Extranodal Any location outside the lymphatic system such as eyes, central nervous system, bone, testes, kidney, heart, and nasal cavity Cutaneous Multifocal or generalized skin involvement Mediastinal or Thymic Abnormal mediastinal lymph nodes with or without tumor metastasis to bone marrow Alimentary Gut-associated lymphoid tissue involvement

12 CLINICAL STAGES OF CANINE LYMPHOMA Stage I II III IV V Involvement Single lymph node or lymphoid tissue in single organ involvement Regional node involvement Generalized node involvement Hepatic and/or splenic involvement Blood, bone marrow and/or other organs involvement Greenlee et al., 1990; Ettinger, 2003

13 Disseminated (systemic) disease Clinical signs are variable and depend on location of the tumor Generalized lymphadenopathy Hepatosplenomegaly Respiratory distress Pre-caval syndrome Ulcerative dermatitis Skin nodules and plaque Vomit and diarrhea Anorexia Weight loss Ascites PU/PD Fever Emaciation Vail and Young, 2007

14 CLINICAL PATHOLOGY PROGNOSTIC FACTORS Red blood cell count (RBC) and Pack cell volume (PCV): Anemic evaluation Platelet count: Thrombocytopenic evaluation Leukocyte count: Leukocytosis evaluation Serum calcium: Hypercalcemia (Paraneoplastic s syndrome) Circulating lymphoblasts: Blood involvement

15 IMMUNOPHENOTYPE Pax5 positive cells, 400x CD79a positive cells, 400x CD3 positive cells, 400x

16 hpcr for antigen receptor rearrangement Cµ IgH TCRγ1 TCRγ2 IgH TCRγ1 TCRγ2 IgH + TCRγ2 + NC 100 bp cytology Cytology heteroduplex

17 MODIFIED COP AND CHOP PROTOCOLS Treatment A: modified COP L-asparaginase 400 IU/kg SC/IM Vincristine mg/m 2 IV Cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m 2 PO Prednisolone 2mg/kg for 7 days then 1 mg/kg EOD week Treatment B: modified CHOP L-asparaginase 400 IU/kg SC/IM Vincristine mg/m 2 IV Cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m 2 PO Doxorubicin 30 mg/m 2 IV (if < 15kg: 1mg/kg) Prednisolone 2 mg/kg/d week 1 Prednisolone 1.5 mg/kg/d week 2 Prednisolone 1 mg/kg/d week 3 Prednisolone 0.5 mg/kg/d week 4

18 RESCUE PROTOCOLS Protocol Rescue A L-asparaginase Lomustine/CCNU Prednisolone Dosage 400 IU/kg SC/IM week 0 Dog < 15 kg: 60 mg/m 2 PO every 3 wks Dog > 15 kg: 70 mg/m 2 PO every 3 wks 2 mg/kg/d taper down to 1 mg/kg q 48hr Rescue B L-asparaginase Doxorubicin Toceranib phosphate 400 IU/kg SC/IM week 0 Dog < 10 kg: 1 mg/kg IV every 3 wks Dog > 10 kg: 30 mg/m 2 IV every 3 wks 3.25 mg/kg PO EOD taper down to 2.2 mg/kg q 48hr

25 FELINE LYMPHOMA Up to 200 cases / 100,000 at FeLV/FIV endemic areas 62x risk for LSA in FeLV+ cats 6x risk for LSA in FIV+ cats 77x risk for LSA in FeLV/FIV+ cats Alimentary Mediastinal Extranodal Differences exist geographically

26 GASTROINTESTINAL LYMPHOMA Usually low grade lymphoma Full thickness biopsy to differentiate from inflammatory bowel disease Abdominal exploratory surgery Tx with prednisolone and chlorambucil Pred 1mg/kg PO q24h Chlorambucil 4 mg/m 2 PO every 3 days Median survival = years!

27 TREATMENT COP d median 1 st remission Cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone COP + Idarubicin 183d COP + Doxorubicin 281d The bottom line K9 LSA is in a fairly good road to achieve maximum efficacy of standard chemo Common terminology needed (i.e. diffuse vs lymphoblastic) Need for additional treatment options Bone marrow transplants, stem cell transplants, mabs, TKIs Feline LSA diagnosis & treatment is lagging Cats are not small dogs
