An adult Moluccan cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis) was diagnosed with a cystadenocarcinoma in the right axillary region that was treated symptomatically with surgical debulking and periodic drainage. The bird eventually died and a necropsy was performed. The neoplasm extended through the humerus, and small neoplastic foci were seen within the ipsilateral lung parenchyma. Rare groupings of microvilli were observed lining intercellular canalicular lumens on electron microscopy within the axillary tumor. These findings suggest a respiratory neoplasm, although the tissue of origin remained undetermined.
一只成年摩鹿加凤头鹦鹉（Cacatua moluccensis）被诊断出右腋窝区域患有囊腺癌，通过手术减瘤和定期引流进行对症治疗。这只鸟最终死亡并进行了尸检。肿瘤已扩散至肱骨，同侧肺实质内可见小的肿瘤病灶。在腋窝肿瘤的电子显微镜检查中，观察到细胞间小管腔内衬有罕见的微绒毛聚集。这些发现提示为呼吸道肿瘤，尽管肿瘤起源组织仍未确定。
