Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old Nubian goat was brought in with swelling around the eyes and bulging eyes (exophthalmos). After testing for bovine leukemia virus came back negative, further imaging revealed that the goat had multicentric B-cell lymphoma, a type of cancer affecting the lymphatic system. Unfortunately, the goat did not survive, as the cancer had caused significant damage to the surrounding tissues.

Abstract
Multicentric B-cell lymphoma with extensive retrobulbar involvement was diagnosed in a 6-year-old Nubian goat that was presented with conjunctival swelling and exophthalmos. Serologic testing for bovine leukemia virus (BLV) was negative. Postmortem computed tomography aided in identification of the extent of soft tissue and bone lesions.
