Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is major type of cancer causing deaths on worldwide and has been reported in numerous species, including dogs, cats, sheep, pigs, fowl, woodchucks, trout and cows. The precise incidence data or complete age distribution of cattle is not known because this information was derived from abattoir. Moreover, there are very few reports in bovine HCC [l]. This report presents findings of bovine HCC with metastasis to the spleen, a very rare tumor in ruminant oncology, found in a Holstein cow during routine inspection at the abattoir. (omitted)
