title: Jejunojejunal intussusception associated with a transmural adenocarcinoma in an aged cow.
abstract: After 3 days of intestinal obstruction, a proximal jejunojejunal intussusception was resected during surgery in an adult Holstein cow. A transmural adenocarcinoma was found at the proximal margin of the intussusception. The cow recovered well from surgery and produced milk and embryos to expectation. During the seventh month after surgery, the cow developed pneumonia and, therefore, was euthanatized. Disseminated abdominal and thoracic neoplasia was observed at necropsy.
