A 17-year-old female emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) was presented for clinical evaluation due to a 3-week history of anorexia and progressive weight loss. The emu died after sedation. At necropsy examination, the ovary and the majority of the oviduct were effaced by a multinodular cystic mass and accompanied by 6 l of coelomic effusion. Histopathology revealed a neoplasm composed of well-differentiated, poorly organized tissues derived from ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. Tissues within the neoplasm expressed glial fibrillary acidic protein, desmin and cytokeratins AE1/AE3, respectively, confirming the diagnosis of teratocarcinoma.
一只17岁的雌性鸸鹋(新荷兰鸸鹋)因3周的厌食和进行性体重减轻病史前来接受临床评估。这只鸸鹋在镇静后死亡。尸检时,卵巢和大部分输卵管被一个多结节囊性肿物取代,并伴有6升腹腔积液。组织病理学显示肿瘤由来自外胚层、中胚层和内胚层的分化良好但组织紊乱的组织组成。肿瘤内的组织分别表达胶质纤维酸性蛋白、结蛋白和细胞角蛋白AE1/AE3,确诊为畸胎癌。
