  abstract = {<p>A Visayan spotted deer with progressive weight loss showed diffuse thickening and nodular changes of the pleura and peritoneum. Histology revealed a highly pleomorphic, predominantly solid neoplasm, consistent with a malignant epithelioid mesothelioma. By immunohistochemistry, expression of pan-cytokeratin, cytokeratin 5/6, and vimentin was found in tumor cells. In addition, scattered expression of calretinin, desmin and α-smooth muscle actin was present within the neoplasm. Mesotheliomas should be considered as a potential differential diagnosis for proliferative processes involving the serosa in cervids.</p>
