  Leiomyosarcoma in birds is relatively rare. This tumor as a muscle neoplasm was reported in captive and free ranging birds. Smooth muscle cells may develop to the leiomyosracoma, but splenic smooth muscle trabeculae is most common site of the tumor growth. Although budgerigars have an incidence of neoplastic diseases but smooth muscle tumors were rarely reported in this species. To the best o...
