A 12-year-old MN Labrador Retriever mix was presented with chronic diarrhea +/- syncopal episodes.Low grade anemia was found on CBC with unremarkable blood chemistry findings.
3-view chest radiographs were recommended along with an echocardiogram. Given the syncopal episodes, serial blood pressures to assess for systemic hypertension were recommended. FNA of both the spleen and liver were performed without complication. Cytology interpretation: High grade lymphoma in liver and spleen.
Within 6 hours of the patient presenting for syncope and sonogram the definitive diagnosis was made to enable potential CHOP, Wisconsin or similar protocols to be implemented before further lymphoma spread could occur. The patient is currently (As of 8/27/16) undergoing chemotherapy and doing well so far.
