Species-specific description: Krol et al. (2020) reported B-cell lymphoma in two related Sumatran tigers. “The finding of such an unusual neoplasm in a male tiger and its male offspring was noteworthy, raising the possibility of a genetic predisposition for this lymphoma type.” (Compiled by Natalia Denisse Ramos Reyes 7/11/2022)

Clinical features: Two tigers which experienced "weeks of ongoing malaise, weight loss, and anorexia” were investigated. "Complete blood counts revealed leukopenia and anemia ... . Splenomegaly was identified on abdominal ultrasonography." ((Krol et al., 2020)

Pathology: Krol et al. (2020): "Cytologic examination and immunohistochemical staining of splenic samples confirmed intermediate to large B-cell lymphoma."
