A ten-year-old single-humped male camel was found dead after prolonged illness. On necropsy, marked body cavity effusion was found with multiple, off white, umbilicated, well demarcated, nodules of variable size on the liver and spleen. Multiple lymph nodes within the abdominal and thoracic cavities were enlarged. Histologically, a pleomorphic small to medium sized noncohesive population of neoplastic lymphocytes infiltrated various organs and effaced normal architecture. Neoplastic cells were strongly positive for CD3 but negative for CD79, MUM1, CD68 and lysosomes. Based on the histopathology and immunohistochemistry, it was diagnosed as T-cell lymphoma.
