Background:

Osteomyelitis is a common differential diagnosis for bovine limb lameness.
Malignant tumors can present with non-specific clinical signs in cattle.

Observation:

A 4-year-old cow presented with chronic, intermittent hindlimb lameness, swelling, fever, and anorexia.
Initial diagnostics suggested osteomyelitis.
Progressive signs included severe anemia and dyspnea.

Findings:

Final diagnosis revealed a metatarsal hemangiosarcoma.
Metastasis to the lungs was confirmed.
The tumor was the underlying cause of the prolonged lameness and systemic illness.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering rare neoplastic conditions in chronic bovine lameness.
Metastatic hemangiosarcoma can mimic infectious processes like osteomyelitis.
Early recognition of metastatic disease is crucial for prognosis in cattle.
