Cutaneous Lymphosarcoma in a mule

Posted by Anjum Andrabi on August 3rd, 2008

The mule was being used for riding during the annual Amarnath Yatra and was presented at the special yatra clinic with multiple oval swellings starting from the umbilicus and extending posteriorly. The prepuce and its opening were barely visible.

The animal was restrained and sedated with Triflupromazine and the growths removed under local anesthesia. The excised tissue has been sent for histopathological examination for confirmation.
