Abstract
An 8-year-old, female llama was evaluated for nonhealing, ulcerative, cutan eous lesions, which also involved the mammary gland. Biopsies of the lesion s distant from and within the mammary gland area revealed an aggressive car cinoma. The tumor was confirmed at necropsy to be a mammary gland adenocarc inoma with cutaneous metastasis.
