| Abstract: | An aged beef cow was presented for signs of thoracic disease. A complete clinical and diagnostic workup suggested neoplasia. Postmortem examination revealed a lymphoma of T-cell lineage confined solely to the thoracic cavity, predominantly in lung tissue. The diagnosis was based on light and electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and negative bovine leukemia virus and bovine immunodeficiency virus results. |
