    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Bovine Medicine
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm arising from mesothelial cells.
    • It can affect various body cavities, including the peritoneum.
    • Diagnosis in young livestock can be challenging due to its rarity.

    Observation:

    • A 5-month-old Holstein heifer presented with progressive abdominal distention and reduced growth rate.
    • Clinicopathologic findings included elevated BUN, AST, hypoproteinemia, and a stress leukogram.
    • The heifer remained alert until shortly before hospitalization.

    Findings:

    • Necropsy revealed multiple peritoneal nodules ranging from 0.5 to 6 cm in diameter.
    • Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of mesothelioma.

  • The tumor diffusely infiltrated the abdominal cavity.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights mesothelioma as a differential diagnosis for abdominal distention in young cattle.
    • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for potential management strategies.
    • Further research into the etiology and treatment of bovine mesothelioma is warranted.
