An antemortem diagnosis of lymphosarcoma was made in a captive Eastern king snake and a rhinoceros viper. The Eastern king snake died on the 1st day after biopsy of a liver nodule, and necropsy revealed multiple tumor nodules throughout all major organ systems. The rhinoceros viper died after chemotherapy with cytosine arabinoside. The major gross lesion was a large paracolonic coelomic tumor that extended into the adjacent musculature and subcutaneous tissue of the lateral abdominal wall. The immediate cause of death of the rhinoceros viper was believed to be severe renal tubular necrosis.
对一条圈养的东部王蛇和一条犀角咝蝰进行了生前淋巴肉瘤诊断。东部王蛇在肝脏结节活检后第1天死亡,尸检发现所有主要器官系统均有多个肿瘤结节。犀角咝蝰在接受阿糖胞苷化疗后死亡。主要肉眼病变是一个大的结肠旁体腔肿瘤,延伸至相邻的肌肉组织和侧腹壁皮下组织。犀角咝蝰的直接死因被认为是严重的肾小管坏死。
