[A calf with a mesothelioma].
A 35-year-old Holstein-Friesian calf had shown progressive abdominal distension for two weeks. On admission, the calf showed signs of abdominal discomfort. Haemorrhagic fluid was obtained by paracentesis and contained 2.8 G.L-1. leucocytes. At both laparotomy and autopsy (after euthanasia) a mesothelioma was found.
