Abstract

A male, seven months old cross bred pig showed massive swelling on the left forelimb. Histological examination revealed many bundles of fibrous connective tissue with hyperchromatic nuclei and prominent nucleoli. Tumour giant cells were found scattered in between proliferating fibrous connective tissue. The case was diagnosed as fibrosarcoma.
