Fibrosarcoma in a white-tailed deer. 1977

M R Elwell, and G T Burger, and J B Moe, and J D White, and J L Stookey

A large, rapidly growing subcutaneous fibrosarcoma was observed on the head of an aged male white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from Frederick County, Maryland. Although there was no evidence of distant metastasis, the large neoplastic mass had extensively invaded the osseous supraorbital process, and had several small satellite nodules nearby.
