The Okinawa rail (Gallirallus okinawae) is an endangered species that inhabits the northern part of Okinawa Main Island in southern Japan. A wild Okinawa rail was rescued from a road in Kunigami Village in Okinawa in October 2009. The bird subsequently died and underwent necropsy. Tumors were found in the liver, spleen and part of the small intestine. Microscopically, lymphoid neoplasm was confirmed in these tissues. The tumor cells were mainly positive for CD3 and CD8α by immunohistochemistry. No Marek's disease virus genes were detected by PCR of a liver tumor. This is the first report of T-cell lymphoma in the Okinawa rail.
冲绳秧鸡（Gallirallus okinawae）是一种濒危物种，栖息于日本南部冲绳本岛北部。2009年10月，一只野生冲绳秧鸡在冲绳国头郡的一条道路上被救起。这只鸟随后死亡并进行了尸检。在肝脏、脾脏和部分小肠中发现了肿瘤。显微镜下，这些组织中确诊为淋巴样肿瘤。免疫组化显示肿瘤细胞主要对CD3和CD8α呈阳性。通过对肝脏肿瘤进行PCR检测，未检测到马立克氏病病毒基因。这是关于冲绳秧鸡T细胞淋巴瘤的首次报告。
