RESUMEN Se describe el caso clínico de un paciente canino, hembra de 2 años, raza French Poodle, quien había presentado tres celos evidentes en un periodo menor a seis meses, según refiere el propietario. En la exploración clínica inicial se observó un paciente apoplético y en examen de aparato genitourinario se evidenció abundante secreción cero-sanguinolenta vaginal. El estudio ecográfico de la región inguinal revela la presencia de una estructura hiperecogénica de forma redondeada no específica con múltiples áreas oncogénicas sugestivas de piometra. Se practicó citología por punción de la masa guiada por ecógrafo que arrojó como diagnóstico presuntivo neoplasia de células redondas. Se practica laparotomía exploratoria en la que se evidenció una masa de color rojizo en el cérvix de 8 cm de diámetro y 3 cm de ancho. El estudio histopatológico de la muestra de la masa tumoral dio como diagnóstico definitivo neoplasia maligna de células grandes consistente con linfoma no Hodgkin de grado intermedio. La confrontación con biomarcadores CD3 arrojó un resultado de reactividad severa con distribución multifocal extensa. Dadas las condiciones de casuística se realizó la eutanasia. La necropsia dejó en evidencia focos metastásicos en costilla.
ABSTRACT The clinical case of a 2-year-old female canine patient, French Poodle breed, who had presented three evident oestrous in a period of less than six months, according to the owner, is described. In the initial clinical examination, a patient with apoplexy signs was observed and in the examination of the genitourinary apparatus, abundant vaginal serobloody secretion was evident. The ultrasound study of the inguinal region reveals the presence of a non-specific rounded hyperechogenic structure with multiple oncogenic areas suggestive of pyometra. Cytology was performed by ultrasound-guided mass puncture that showed as a presumptive diagnosis of round cell neoplasia. An exploratory laparotomy is performed in which a mass of reddish colour in the cervix of 8 cm in diameter and 3 cm wide was evident. Histopathological study of the tumour mass sample gave a definitive diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of large cells consistent with intermediate grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The confrontation with CD3 biomarkers yielded a severe reactivity result with extensive multifocal distribution. Given the casuistic conditions, euthanasia was performed. The autopsy showed metastatic foci in the ribs.
