Abstract
A black kite (Milvus migrans) was referred to the Gyeongnam Wild Animal Rescue Center, Jinju, Korea, with a clinical history of lethargy. On physical examination, three hard, variable sized, round shaped masses were found in the carpal and digit region of the right wing. On plain radiographs, three various sized, round to oval shaped, bony opacity masses with smooth margin were identified on the major digit, alular digit, carpometacarpus. The bird was euthanized due to poor prognosis. A full necropsy was performed, and the histopathologic findings in the bird were consistent with multiple exostoses.
