                    Figure 28-6  •  A, Orientation and close-up (B) dorsoventral views of the tail of an armadillo show severe destruction of the right lateral
                    aspect of one vertebra and portions of those in front and behind. The adjacent muscle is swollen and deformed. These lesions were
                    presumptively diagnosed as a bacterial infection but obviously share some features of cancer.
