Image size: 1000 x 967px

Leucosis seen in the dorsal wall of the body of the uterus in a pregnant cow. This tract was obtained from a slaughter  plant specimen, so no history as available other than the cow being labeled as a "cull cow". It was estimated that this pregnancy was approximately 45 days old. It is not a usual to encounter pregnancies in cattle that are severely affected by leucosis, even when the uterus is involved.
