Abstract
An 11-month-old, Holstein heifer was presented for a progressive swelling on the left side of the face that had been present since birth. A diagnosis of fibromatosis was made, based on macroscopic and microscopic examination of the abnormal infiltrative tissue. Because of the poor prognosis the animal was euthanized.
