A lymphoma affecting the synovia was identified in both tarsal joints of an aged sheep. With a panel of cross-reactive antibodies specific for lambda and kappa immunoglobulin light chain, MHC class II, CD3, CD79a and the Ki-67 antigen, the neoplasm was classified as a B-cell lymphoma with uniform expression of surface membrane CD79a. This would seem to be the first report of a lymphoma affecting the synovia in a domestic animal, and the first use of the CD79a reagent on ovine tissue.

is an obligate intracellular bacterium usually found as a commensal in the human oral cavity. Symptomatic infections with this organism are rare, but severe disease has been described in the setting of impaired humoral immunity. Here, we describe a case in which was identified from the joint fluid of a patient with septic arthritis, splenic lesions, and agammaglobulinemia.
