An amorphous (or amorphus) globosus (from Greek αμορφή (amorphē, 'formless') and Latin globus ('sphere')), also known as a globosus amorphus, or an amorphous globosus monster, is a fetus malformation in veterinary medicine, particularly in domestic cattle, resulting in the formation of an approximately spherical structure covered with hairy skin. An amorphous globosus contains parts of all three germ layers; the differentiation of its contents can vary greatly.
