Lymphoma is the most common hematopoietic neoplasm in dogs and consists in the malignant transformation of lymphocytes. It can be classified as multicentric, alimentary, cutaneous, mediastinal, and extranodal. Multicentric lymphoma is the most common form in dogs, with generalized lymphadenopathy being the main clinical sign reported by owners. It originates from lymphoid tissues such as lymph nodes, spleen and liver, although it can infiltrate various organs. Clinical cytology is usually capable of providing a rapid diagnosis, but immunophenotyping may be necessary for the correct neoplastic classification. Diagnosing advanced-stage lymphoma with bone marrow involvement can be challenging due to its similarities with lymphoid leukemias. Treatment aims to provide a good quality of life for the animal, increase survival, and disease-free intervals. This study aims to report an oncology patient diagnosed with multicentric lymphoma and lymphoblastic leukemia.
