Large granular lymphocytes (LGL) occur as a leukemic or aleukemic neoplasia in humans, 1 rats, 2 cats, 3,4 dogs, 5 and horses. 6 The single case of equine LGL previously reported was aleukemic. 5 In contrast to this previous report of aleukemic equine LGL neoplasia, the leukemia in the case presented here established the antemortem diagnosis of LGL.
