A rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) with leukemic mediastinal lymphoma,which had not responded to steroid therapy,received the alkylating agent Lomustine (50 mg/m2) twice at 21-day intervals until complete remission was achieved. No serious side effects were encountered, other than a slight increase in serum ALP level. The rabbit died due to renal failure 91 days after the second administration of Lomustine. The survival time was 128 days in this case.
