Abstract

Two bullocks with history of fracture of horn, foul smelling, head shaking, mucopurulent discharge from the corresponding nostrils, dull, depressed, partially closed eyes and head pressing were presented. Both animals were suspected for sinusitis and in second case tumor mass (squamous cell carcinoma) at the tip was observed. The affected horns were surgically removed and no recurrence was observed. Animals recovered uneventfully.
