Nodular lung lesions in pigs can be caused by tumors, not just infections. This study identified a rare malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in a sow, highlighting the importance of considering neoplasms in differential diagnoses.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Pathology
- Swine Medicine
- Oncology
Background:
- Nodular lung lesions in swine are commonly attributed to abscesses or granulomatous pneumonia.
- Tumors are infrequently reported in swine but should be considered in differential diagnoses for lung nodules.
