A 21-yr-old female jaguar (Panthera onca) died in a zoo in Teresina, Piaui, Brazil, following a history of abdominal distension, ascites, anorexia, and dyspnea. At necropsy, a dark red, watery, blood-tinged serous fluid was present in the abdominal cavity. The peritoneum was thick with firm, yellow, villous projections. Histologically, the tumors were composed of a biphasic population of cells, which reacted to anti-cytokeratin and anti-vimentin antibodies, consistent with a biphasic benign mesothelioma of peritoneal origin. This is the first reported case of mesothelioma in a captive jaguar.
一只21岁的雌性美洲豹（Panthera onca）在巴西皮奥伊州特雷西纳的一家动物园死亡，此前有腹胀、腹水、厌食和呼吸困难的病史。尸检时，腹腔内有暗红色、水样、带血的浆液性液体。腹膜增厚，有坚实的黄色绒毛状突起。组织学上，肿瘤由双相细胞群组成，对抗细胞角蛋白和抗波形蛋白抗体有反应，符合腹膜起源的双相良性间皮瘤。这是圈养美洲豹中首次报告的间皮瘤病例。
