Clinical description: 
The more virulent strains of Marek’s disease can be associated with lymphomas on virtually any visceral organ. Here, the heart and lung of an infected chicken is shown on top and compared to the corresponding normal organs on the bottom. When examining a flock of birds infected with the visceral form of Marek’s, usually multiple organs or tissues are involved.
