Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb contents in liver, spleen and lymph nodes of 30 cows with lymphatic leukemia were determined using polarographic method. In leukemic tissues more or less prominent increase of mentioned metals was observed. Results of the examinations would indicate a partical disappearance of natural antagonism between particular elements in neoplastic tissues. Metals accumulation in leukemic tissue is prabably a secondary phenomenon in relation to virus infection. Alterated by virus physicochemical cell properties promote not only accumulation bat also perversion of heavy metals to tissues.
