Abstract
An aged beef cow was presented for signs of thoracic disease. A complete cl inical and diagnostic workup suggested neoplasia. Postmortem examination re vealed a lymphoma of T-cell lineage confined solely to the thoracic cavity, predominantly in lung tissue. The diagnosis was based on light and electro n microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and negative bovine leukemia virus and bovine immunodeficiency virus results.
