| Abstract |
|
An adult female eastern box turtle, Terrapene carolina carolina, presented with a proliferative soft tissue mass adjacent to the tail. Initial blood work revealed a moderate leukocytosis. Over the next five months, the lesion progressed despite treatment with a combination of surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy. Ultimately, Mycobacterium terrae was isolated from the locally extensive cutaneous lesion. Euthanasia was elected, and necropsy revealed disseminated mycobacteriosis.
