Classifying leukemia in horses can be challenging if blasts predominate and since few antibodies to identify cell types are available. The objective of this study was to describe in detail the clinical and pathologic features of acute leukemia in horses. Twelve horses ranging from 0.2 to 25.9 years of age were diagnosed with acute leukemia. Six cases were classified as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) based on predominance of blasts, lack of granulocytic or monocytic differentiation, and detection of CD3, CD20, and\/or CD79a antigens by immunohistochemistry. Six other cases were classified as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with myelomonocytic ( n = 4), basophilic ( n = 1), and eosinophilic ( n = 1) differentiation based on &gt; 20% bone marrow blasts and partial leukocytic differentiation. Reactivity with antibodies to Iba-1\/AIF-1, CD172a, and CD163 was determined for all cases of AML. Eleven horses had thrombocytopenia, 10 had neutropenia, 8 had anemia, all had blasts on blood films, and none had leukocytosis. Ten horses had increased serum acute phase proteins. Bone marrow cellularity ranged from 30% to 100%, and the proportion of blasts ranged from 80% to 100% and 30% to 60% in ALL and AML, respectively. Horses were severely ill at diagnosis and euthanized within days or weeks. Unique features of acute leukemia in horses compared to other species were variable lymphocyte antigen expression (ALL) and frequent inflammation (ALL and AML).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0300985817720983","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,16]],"date-time":"2017-08-16T06:20:13Z","timestamp":1502864413000},"page":"159-172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Acute Leukemia in Horses"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Carina J.","family":"Cooper","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Studies, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefan M.","family":"Keller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis G.","family":"Arroyo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Studies, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanne","family":"Hewson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Studies, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Kenney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Studies, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2301-2931","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dorothee","family":"Bienzle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1634\/theoncologist.11-4-384"},{"key":"bibr2-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01652176.2015.1110427"},{"key":"bibr3-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1863-2378.2011.01394.x"},{"key":"bibr4-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2016-03-643544"},{"key":"bibr5-0300985817720983","author":"Barrell EA","journal-title":"J Vet Diagn Invest"},{"key":"bibr6-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19950101)75:1<110::AID-CNCR2820750118>3.0.CO;2-I"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr7-0300985817720983","first-page":"36","volume":"34","author":"Bienzle D","year":"1993","journal-title":"Can Vet J"},{"issue":"12","key":"bibr8-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1562","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1987.190.12.1562","volume":"190","author":"Blue J","year":"1987","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"bibr9-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/030098588402100521"},{"key":"bibr10-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1939-1676.1994.tb03229.x"},{"key":"bibr11-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/030098588402100405"},{"key":"bibr12-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1939-1676.1992.tb00343.x"},{"key":"bibr13-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7717\/peerj.1601"},{"key":"bibr14-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra1406184"},{"key":"bibr15-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2042-3306.1994.tb04339.x"},{"key":"bibr16-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0300985812451603"},{"key":"bibr17-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13287-017-0525-2"},{"key":"bibr18-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-0813.2011.00790.x"},{"issue":"10","key":"bibr19-0300985817720983","first-page":"1067","volume":"57","author":"Furness MC","year":"2016","journal-title":"Can Vet J"},{"key":"bibr20-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra1400972"},{"key":"bibr21-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetimm.2011.07.021"},{"key":"bibr22-0300985817720983","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Invernizzi R, Quaglia F, Porta MG.
