Over a period of 9 yr, seven white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons) and one Canada goose (Branta canadensis) with multiple intramuscular mesenchymal tumors were encountered in Saskatchewan (Canada) and one similarly affected Canada goose was seen on Prince Edward Island (Canada). The tumors in these birds consisted either of adipose tissue, fibroblastic tissue, or a mixture of both types of tissues. The high prevalence of this condition in white-fronted geese suggested a genetic influence.
在9年的时间里,在加拿大萨斯喀彻温省发现了7只患有多发性肌内间充质肿瘤的白额雁(Anser albifrons)和1只加拿大雁(Branta canadensis),在加拿大爱德华王子岛也发现了1只患有类似疾病的加拿大雁。这些鸟类身上的肿瘤由脂肪组织、成纤维组织或这两种组织的混合物组成。这种疾病在白额雁中的高发病率表明存在遗传影响。
