TODO - The aim of this report was to present a case of epitheliotropic
cutaneous lymphoma (mycosis fungoides) in a coati. The animal was
presented for evaluation of a non-pruritic nodule. Although the
diagnosis of cutaneous histiocytoma was made histologically, plaques and
erosions appeared in new areas of the skin along with rapid
deterioration of body condition that led to euthanasia in less than one
month following initial presentation. Epitheliotropic cutaneous lymphoma
was confirmed with plaque biopsies. Cross-reactivity of a polyclonal
antihuman CD3 antibody to coati T lymphocytes was also observed. Apart
from skin lesions, only pleuritis was post-mortem diagnosed most likely
because of immunosuppression secondarily to malignant neoplasia.
