Abstract
This case report describes a Red Holstein heifer with a thymic lymphoma (ly mphosarcoma; malignant lymphoma). The heifer was presented because of a sev ere swelling at the throat and ventral neck region. Based on the clinical e xamination the diagnosis of thymic neoplasia was made. Because of the poor prognosis the heifer was euthanised and autopsied. Histopathological examin ation revealed a thymic lymphoma.
