Abstract
A lymphosarcoma in a scarlet macaw (Ara macao) affecting periocular st ructures is described. Microscopically and ultrastructurally, many of the lymphoid cells had plasmacytoid features. Polymerase chain reactio n amplification failed to detect exogenous avian retrovirus RAV-1 in t he neoplastic mass.
