Subcutaneous tumors were localised on the left site of thorax, under the left eye and above the sacrum. Abdominal tumors were around the left kidney and aorta. Multiple nodular tumoral masses were observed on mesenterium and mesometrium. In addition to sublingual salivary gland hyperplasia, jaw deformity due to hyperplasia were observed.
