Pearl disease
This is a type of domestic cattle tuberculosis characterized
by specific tuberculosis lesions in the serosa of the costal pleura
and peritoneal membrane. Initially, red granulation tissue develops.
This tissue is hard and lustrous because of marked proliferation of
connective tissue and covering of each nodule with thick connective
membrane. Its external appearance is like a bunch of grapes or peals.
