Cutaneous metastases of a mammary carcinoma in a llama

Can Vet J. 2001 Mar;42(3):204-6.

Abstract

An 8-year-old, female llama was evaluated for nonhealing, ulcerative, cutaneous lesions, which also involved the mammary gland. Biopsies of the lesions distant from and within the mammary gland area revealed an aggressive carcinoma. The tumor was confirmed at necropsy to be a mammary gland adenocarcinoma with cutaneous metastasis.
