title: Epidermal inclusion cysts in a cow.
abstract: A 6-year-old Hereford-cross cow had multiple 2-cm diameter, well-circumscribed, firm, nonulcerated cutaneous nodules along the ventral midline. Biopsy of several nodules revealed epidermal inclusion cysts. Such cysts may be of economic importance because they affect hide quality in beef and dairy cattle.
