title: Cutaneous histiocytoma in a heifer.
abstract: A young Friesian heifer developed multiple skin nodules. Histologically, the tumours appeared similar to the canine cutaneous histiocytoma. Over the next few weeks, the tumours underwent regression. These findings are considered to be consistent with a case of hitherto unreported bovine cutaneous histiocytoma. The only previously reported cases have been in dogs.
