Abstract
Histopathological examination of clinically long-standing lesions with durations of one year or more in the extremities of two cattle revealed the presence of sarcomas with distant metastases. In case 1, neoplastic cells were fusiform to pleomorphic, stained for no specific differentiation markers, and diagnosed as undifferentiated sarcoma. Neoplastic growth in case 2 was composed of spindle to histiocytoid cells and a significant number of multinucleated giant cells, both of which were immunoreactive to histiocyte markers, and diagnosed as giant cell malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Neoplastic cells of both cases were immunohistochemically positive for nitric oxide-related antigens, which were recognized as markers of inflammation-induced carcinogenesis in human and laboratory animals.
