- Abstract
The study of specialised literature underlines certain interesting aspects regarding the problem of the plasmocytoma in the canine species. It is also noticed the unanimity of the veterinary oncology and pathology specialists who consider plasmocytoma a tumoral manifestation of the B lymphocytic cell line. The authors show aspects of malignant proliferations of the plasmocitary cell line encountered in dogs from the case studies of the veterinary clinics of the Bucharest Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The anatomical and clinical forms investigated and diagnosed through cytomorphological examinations have been: splenic extramedullar plasmocytoma, lymph node extramedullar plasmocytoma, Waldenström lymphoma, Waldenström lymphoma with metastases in the pleural serosa, systemic Waldenström lymphoma, and plasma cell leukemia. The literature describes multiple locations of these cell proliferations, including multiple myeloma, which we did not identify in our cases. Instead, the bibliography studied did not refer to the existence in dogs of the Waldenström lymphoma and of plasma cell leukemia.
