Sarcoma: lymph glands. Epithelioma, intestine. Adenoma, rectum.
Undetermined tumors. Diagnosis by abdominal palpation or rectal
exploration. Removal by rectum or laparotomy. Chickens: Sarcoma.
Epithelioma.
Cadeac records the frequent existence of sarcoma of the lymph glands,
and epithelioma of the intestines and Friedberger an adenoma close to
the rectum. Born describes a tumor of uncertain kind, and with a number
of smaller adjacent rounded masses.
The _diagnosis_ is usually easier than in the larger animals, the
flaccid walls of the abdomen facilitating a satisfactory manipulation.
In the case of isolated and non-malignant growths, laparotomy should be
resorted to without hesitation. Even resection of the intestine may be
resorted to for the removal of a neoplasm the ends being reunited by
sutures or by Murphy’s button.
