ct-10328	McNulty, Kaylin; Jaffe, Michael ; Yi, Joanne 	Amorphus globosus	2024	5	.pdf	application/pdf	2435	141	52	Amorphus globosus most commonly occurs in bovids, with the most common occurrence in Holsteins (~ 1 in every 3,500 pregnancies).23 In humans, it occurs in 1 out of every 35,000 births.9 Histopathology (H&E): A. luminal structure resembling intestines with villous mucosa, submucosa, and distinct muscularis layers including mixed inflammatory cells and vessels, 4 x. Inset: prominent goblet cells in villi, 40 x. B. large expanse of tissue resembles liver with hepatocytes forming irregular cords with interspersing sinusoid-like blood channels, 20 x. C. orga- nized bundle of nerve cell bodies, 20 x. D. remnant of organized pale basophilic cartilage with appropriate maturation to bone and marrow resembles a neonatal growth plate; note structure surrounded by amorphous edematous tissue with admixed blood cells, 4 x. http://dx.doi.org/10.58292/CT.v16.10328 http://library.msstate.edu/ 4 Citation line: Clinical Theriogenology 2024, 16, 10328, http://dx.doi.org/10.58292/CT.v16.10328 Learning points • Amorphus globosus is defined as an acardiac asymmetrical roughly spherical mass of tissue covered in skin • This disorder may increase the incidence of birth complications, most commonly dystocia and retention of fetal membranes • This malformation has the potential to cause cotwin mor- tality due to dystocia and potentially cardiac compromise • Early identification and treatment of amorphus globosus individuals may decrease cotwin mortality and birth complications • There is no evidence to support culling or spaying of affected dams, as there are no reports of this condition occurring more than once in the same dam Conflict of interest None to report.	cache/ct-10328.pdf	txt/ct-10328.txt
