Lymphoid leucaemia in a dog after chemotherapy for mast cell sarcomas.
A 10-year-old Golden Labrador developed a well-differentiated lymphoid cell leucaemia during chemotherapy for a malignant mast cell tumour. Similar treatment had been carried out 2 years previously for another mast cell tumour. The possibility of an association between the anti-neoplastic chemotherapy and the lymphatic leucaemia is discussed.
