Abstract

Cutaneous lymphoma was clinically, histopathologically and immunohistochemically detected in a 1.5-year-old male peafowl in this case. Histopathologically, intradermally located diffuse cutaneous lymphoma composed of atypical lymphoblastic cells and exhibiting a pattern of follicular development was diagnosed on the right buccal area of the peafowl. Positive reaction with CD3 and CD20 antibodies confirmed the diagnosis immunohistochemically.

BİR TAVUS KUŞUNDA KUTANOZ LENFOMA OLGUSU

Bu olguda; 1,5 yaşındaki erkek tavus kuşunda klinik, histopatolojik ve immunohistokimyasal yöntemlerle kutanöz lenfoma belirlendi. Tavus kuşunun sağ yanak bölgesinde, histopatolojik olarak atipik lenfoblastik hücrelerden oluşan ve foliküler şekil sergileyen, intradermal yerleşimli kitle diffüz kutanöz lenfoma olarak teşhis edildi. İmmunohistokimyasal olarak CD3 ve CD20 antikorları ile pozitif reaksiyon elde edilmesi sonucu teşhis doğrulandı.
