Abstract

We describe a diffuse, multicentric, large B-cell lymphoma in a wild boar (Sus scrofa) involving the abdomen, head, and nose and invading the frontal leptomeninges. The tumor was predominantly composed of dense, basophilic, round-to-polygonal cells. Immunohistochemistry for CD79 and Ki-67 was positive in all masses.
