Summary
A clustering of generalized malignant lymphoma is reported in a single household of Rottweiler dogs (both parents and three of the four sibling in one litter) and in a breeding pair of unrelated Scottish terriers. In addition, malignant lymphoma of the myocardium was found in three directly related otterhounds (the sire and two sibling offspring). Possible genetic and viral factors in the aetiology of canine malignant lymphoma are discussed.
