Abstract

Clinical examination of a Holstein cow (aged 7 years and 3 months) with cyanosis, jugular-vein distention, and non-inflammatory edema in the brisket and ventral abdomen revealed decreased intensity of heart sounds, marked hydropericardium, and increased serum γ-globulin values. Gross solid opaline masses were found over the epicardium, and the pericardial fluid was distinctly blood-like. Histopathologic examination resulted in a diagnosis of the neoplastic masses as malignant mesothelioma.
