A 7-year-old castrated male ferret developed unilateral cervical lymphadenomegaly over a 1-month period. Histological examination revealed proliferation of tumor cells in a diffuse and partially nodular pattern. The tumor cells were predominantly Hodgkin cells and binucleated Reed-Sternberg cells, characterized by abundant, clear, vacuolated cytoplasm, pleomorphic, ovoid nuclei with thick nuclear membranes and distinct nucleoli. Multinucleated cells, resembling lymphocytic and histiocytic (L&H) cells, were also observed. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells expressed Pax-5, BLA-36 and vimentin. A small population of the tumor cells expressed CD20. This case showed proliferation of Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg cells in conjunction with L&H cells that were histologically analogous to feline Hodgkin’s-like lymphoma. However, Pax-5 and BLA-36 expression along with rare CD20 expression were consistent with classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma in humans.

The mechanical properties of cabbages (var. Yumebutai) with different head densities were evaluated by stress relaxation and a puncture test of whole cabbages, and also by a tensile test of strap-shaped specimens. The resistance of whole head to compression at small deformation was well correlated to head density. Mechanical properties in the fifth leaves of cabbages did not correlate to head density, although tensile properties varied within an individual leaf, with direction of tension, and among individual leaves. The observation suggests that head density influences mechanical resistance of whole head at small deformation, and may relate to properties for cutting with an industrial shredder; however it is not a significant factor for mechanical properties of shredded cabbage.

We report three cases of multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) successfully treated with anti-interleukin-6 receptor antibody (tocilizumab). Tocilizumab was administered intravenously at a dose of 8 mg/kg every 2 weeks. In each case, tocilizumab alleviated symptoms, including generalized fatigue, pyrexia, and alleviated biochemical abnormalities, including anemia, hypoalbuminemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and increased C-reactive protein (CRP). Side effects included hypercholesterolemia, acute pyelonephritis, mild inflammation of the parotid glands, and upper respiratory system inflammation. Other severe side effects were not observed. These results indicate that tocilizumab is effective for the treatment of MCD. This is the first report on tocilizumab efficacy for Castleman's disease after approval for use for Castleman's disease.

Anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (ALTCL) is rarely reported in domestic animals. Accordingly, the histopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of ALTCL have not been well established in prairie dogs. The present report documents three cases in which prairie dogs were diagnosed with ALTCL arising in the subcutaneous tissue, oral mucosa or the mesenteric lymph nodes. Of the three cases, one was available for necropsy and the others were biopsy cases. Microscopically, moderate to large, pleomorphic neoplastic lymphocytes with ovoid to polygonal, bizarre-shaped nuclei, abundant cytoplasm and eosinophilic granules were seen in all cases. Immunohistochemical staining revealed membranous or cytoplasmic CD3 expression of the neoplastic lymphocytes. The neoplastic cells often had granzyme B-positive cytoplasmic granules. One of the prairie dogs with nodal ALTCL suffered systemic dissemination of the tumor and died suddenly. In the two biopsy cases, one animal died on the day of the biopsy examination and the other died six weeks after chemotherapy. ALTCL in prairie dogs displays a cytotoxic T cell phenotype and presumably carries a poor prognosis regardless of the anatomical type.
