Congenital neoplasms are rare and sporadic in cattle and can cause losses due to abortions and perinatal or neonatal deaths. The etiopathogenesis of congenital tumors in bovine fetuses and neonates is largely unknown, and their diagnosis is often challenging. Here we review the literature on congenital tumors in cattle and report 11 additional cases diagnosed at veterinary diagnostic laboratories in Argentina, Uruguay, the United States, and the United Kingdom, namely 4 congenital lymphomas, 3 mesotheliomas, 2 adenomatoid tumors, 1 lymphangioma, and 1 ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor in bovine fetuses and/or neonatal calves.

Background: Cardiac herniation, especially right-sided herniation, is a fatal complication which causes sudden hypotension due to obstruction of the vena cava. Here, we describe a case of cardiac herniation identified without any symptoms after right extrapleural pneumonectomy performed for diffuse pleural mesothelioma.
Case Presentation: A 72-year-old man with diffuse pleural mesothelioma underwent a right extrapleural pneumonectomy after chemotherapy.
Miliary spread of mesothelioma is a rare but important manifestation of late-stage disease, likely due to hematogenous dissemination. This case highlights characteristic CT imaging findings, emphasizing the need for awareness among clinicians and radiologists. Recognizing this pattern can aid in diagnosis, prognostication, and appropriate referral for palliative management.
