NEOPLASMS IN THE SHEEP’S LIVER.
Adenoma has been met with by McFadyean, Johne, Kitt and Bollinger. They hung as pediculated tumors from the surface of the liver, and were in part wedged into its substance displacing the hepatic tissue and vessels. In general they consisted of a dense fibrous stroma with cylindroid and biliary cells in great abundance, sometimes arranged in tubular form. Specimens described by Kitt and Bollinger attained to the size of a man’s head and were stained of a deep green color.
Carcinoma. Casper reports a case of hepatic cancer in the sheep secondary to cancer of the mesentery.
