A seminoma and parathyroid adenoma were diagnosed in an aged snow leopard. The ultrastructural appearance of the seminoma was similar to that described in the dog and in man. The lack of significant amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complexes and free ribosomes in the parathyroid adenoma suggested that it was non-functional. Parathyroid adenoma has not been previously described in a large wild feline.
一只老年雪豹被诊断出患有精原细胞瘤和甲状旁腺腺瘤。精原细胞瘤的超微结构与在狗和人类中描述的相似。甲状旁腺腺瘤中缺乏大量粗面内质网、高尔基体复合体和游离核糖体，提示其无功能。此前在大型野生猫科动物中尚未有甲状旁腺腺瘤的描述。
