Developmental variations on accepted normality are genetic efforts to obtain an advantage for that species within their environment as each species strives to maximise their chance to succeed through natural selection, however unsuitable that variation might seem, such as the variation described by Ramos et al. ( 2024) in comparison with the advantage achieved by a Pseudomonas bacterial colony, resistant to every antibiotic on a sensitivity plate.Publications of rare, isolated cases are warranted; Lawsonia intracellularis started life as single case reports (Duhamel & Wheeldon, 1982;Frank et al., 1998) and are particularly refreshing when an honest small oversight during the work-up is included (Ramos et al., 2024), as occurs in busy veterinary practice. Such deceptive cases are encountered individually, such as this soft highly compressible 'reducible' mass (Fig-
