A male African pygmy hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris), estimated to be 3 years old, presented with exophthalmos and fixed abduction of the right eye. Radiographic examination revealed a retrobulbar tumor in the right orbital cavity. The mass was surgically resected but recurred 3 months later and the hedgehog died. There was no gross or microscopic evidence of salivary or lacrimal gland involvement of the tumor at surgery or at necropsy. The histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural findings were those of acinic cell carcinoma, the origin of which was unknown. This is the first known case of acinic cell carcinoma in an African hedgehog.
一只估计3岁的雄性非洲侏儒刺猬（南非刺猬）出现眼球突出和右眼固定外展。影像学检查发现右眼眶内有一个球后肿瘤。该肿块经手术切除，但3个月后复发，刺猬死亡。手术或尸检时，均未发现肿瘤有肉眼或显微镜下唾液腺或泪腺受累的证据。组织病理学、免疫组织化学和超微结构检查结果均为腺泡细胞癌，其起源不明。这是已知的第一例非洲刺猬腺泡细胞癌病例。
