Cervico-thoracic nodular lesion in a pig
The mass was soft, of whitish colouration and with presence of haemorrhages and yellowish areas. The lymph nodes were enlarged and indured. Meat inspectors suspected of a neoplastic process.
Histopathological examination of the mass revealed thymus tissue infiltrated by a neoplastic proliferation of lymphoid cells. Since lymph nodes were also altered a diagnostic of multicentric lymphoma was established.
Large nodular lesion in the cervico-thoracic region.
Detail of the sectioned mass yellowish areas correspond microscopically to areas of necrosis.
