Metastatic Leiomyosarcoma Involving Bone and Kidney in an Adult Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus). [PDF]
Vet Med SciA 2‐year‐old male budgerigar presents with swelling of the medial left leg. Soft tissue neoplasia is suspected after empirical treatment fails. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry (α‐SMA and desmin positivity, vimentin negativity) confirm leiomyosarcoma, with metastasis to bone and kidneys. This case documents uncommon metastatic spread in an avian
