Can Vet J. 1998 Jul;39(7):431-3.

Abstract

A 7-month-old calf with a firm, diffuse infiltration of the left hind limb with sciatic nerve motor deficit was presented. The cytology indicated a malignant, round cell tumor and at necropsy, tissues were positive to a Kappa-lambda immunohistochemistry test. The final diagnosis was sporadic bovine leukosis, juvenile form.
