Atypical sporadic lymphosarcoma in a 7-month-old Holstein heifer.
A 7-month-old calf with a firm, diffuse infiltration of the left hind limb with sciatic nerve motor deficit was presented. The cytology indicated a malignant, round cell tumor and at necropsy, tissues were positive to a Kappa-lambda immunohistochemistry test. The final diagnosis was sporadic bovine leukosis, juvenile form.
