Abstract

Present investigation was carried out on a camel which was presented with a complaint of multiple sub-cutaneous nodules on the neck and trunk region. The skin samples of these areas showing frank macroscopic lesions were collected and processed for histopathological examinations.  Microscopically, there were circumscribed areas of panniculitis in which, the cellular infiltrate mainly consists of neutrophils and macrophages. Macrophages were present at the periphery, whereas neutrophils were present at the centre. Based on gross and microscopic examination it revealed a case of panniculitis.
