Abstract;We conducted clinical diagnostic imaging and histological examinations of a 7-year-old male flat-coated retriever witK a tumor on the knee of the left hind leg, which it carried in a raised position. Although no pannus was identified, lymphocytes and plasma cells predominated in the fluid of the bilateral joints. We therefore diagnosed the condition as lymphocytic-plasmacytic gonarthritis. Immunological findings suggest that an imbalance in the T-cell subset of the local knee joint may have induced the gonarthritis. (author abst.)
