Abstract

A month old male Ouda lamb was presented with abnormal ulcerative growth at the umbilicus. On physical examination, the mass was solid measured 2x2.5cm2 and ulcerative with foul smelling odor. Standard surgical excision of mass was successfully performed. Biopsy revealed proliferation of vessels with flattened endothelia, suggestive of hemangiosarcoma.
