Abstract

A Holstein cattle with third pregnancy was found to have clinical emergency findings of anxiety, dyspnea and recumbency at just before parturition. So Cesarean section and observation of internal organs were taken. Macroscopic examination showed enlargement of th lymph nodes and spleen, and ascites. A large tumor mass with solid and white to gray-white and focal hemorrhage, 55$\times$120cm in dimension and weighing 25.5kg was found in pelivc cavity. For conventional light microscopy, tissue samples were fixed in 10% neutral formalin solution, and then paraffin embedding, sectining and H-E staining were performed. In microscopic findings, tumor tissue, lymph node and spleeen were composed of mainly lymphoid tumor cells and the number of white blood cells in peripheral blood were increased 10-fold more than in normal. We concluded this tumor was bovine lymphoma.
