“…Microscopically, lymphoblastic lymphoma is the most common form of lymphopoietic neoplasm in fish with an incidence of up to 80% of the reported cases (Harada et al 1990). Additionally, lymphocytic lymphomas have been reported by several authors (Blazer & Schrank 1995;Hayashi et al 2008;Kieser et al 1991;Kn€ usel et al 2007;Okihiro & Hinton 1989). The juvenile arowana in this case was diagnosed with a lymphoma which was limited to peribranchial tissues and the gills supporting the hypothesis that the neoplasm originated in the thymus, potentially in the early stages of the animal's development.…”

“…The thymus and kidney are described as being the most common primary locations for neoplastic development (Roberts 2012;Lombardini, Hard & Harshbarger 2014). Among others, the Japanese medaka (Oryzia latoipes) (Okihiro & Hinton 1989), Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) (Bowser, McCOY & MacMillan 1985), Atlantic salmon (Salmo Salar) (Bowser, Wolfe & Wallbridge 1987), rainbow trout (Oncorhychus mykiss) (Bruno & Smail 1998), northern pike (Esox lucius) (Thompson & Kostiala 1990) and black bullhead (Ameiurus melas) (Blazer & Schrank 1995) have all been reported in case reports of spontaneous neoplastic transformation diagnosed as lymphoma. The aetiology of the disease in any given species remains uncertain with the exception of cutaneous lymphomas of the northern pike and muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) which have a hypothesized association with a type C retrovirus (Coffee, Casey & Bowser 2013).…”

“…In channel catfish ( Ictalurus punctatus Rafinesque), two cases of visceral lymphosarcoma were reported following exposure to N‐ methyl‐ N’ ‐nitro‐ N ‐nitrosoguanidine, a known potent carcinogen (Chen et al, 1996). Lymphoma was reported in a black bullhead ( Ameiurus melas Rafinesque) collected as part of a survey procedure in the Allouez Bay, Lake Superior, Wisconsin (Blazer & Schrank, 1995). Neoplastic cells were detected in liver, spleen, kidney, and gill tissues on histologic examination.…”

A wild caught white catfish (Ameiurus catus Linnaeus) developed multiple cutaneous masses. Cytology revealed neoplastic lymphocytes and microscopy confirmed dermal infiltration with epitheliotropism in the epidermis, oral mucosa, and cornea, without internal organ involvement. Transmission electron microscopy did not identify viral particles. Histopathology supported cutaneous epitheliotropic lymphosarcoma, a condition most commonly reported in mammals. This is the first reported case of cutaneous epitheliotropic lymphosarcoma in an ictalurid and one of the few published cases of this condition in any fish species.

“…Lymphomas have been described in up to 22 species of fish, with the thymus and kidney being statistically the most common primary sites for neoplastic transformation. 8,9,16,17,68 Historically, the species variation and histological anatomy of the fish kidney may have resulted in inaccurate diagnoses of lymphoma in the kidney. The normal presence of hematopoietic tissue within the anterior kidney of many fish species may have resulted in exaggerated descriptions of both mononuclear cell nephritis and lymphoma being maintained within the earlier published literature.…”

Neoplasms of the Urinary Tract in Fish

The veterinary literature contains scattered reports of primary tumors of the urinary tract of fish, dating back to 1906. Many of the more recent reports have been described in association with the Registry of Tumors in Lower Animals, and most of the spontaneous neoplasms of the kidney and urinary bladder are single case reports. In rare instances, such as described in nephroblastomas of Japanese eels and tubular adenomas/adenocarcinomas of Oscars, there is suggestion of a genetic predisposition of certain populations to specific renal neoplasms, environmental carcinogenesis, or potentially an unknown infectious etiology acting as a promoter. Hematopoeitic neoplasms have been infrequently described as primary to the kidney of a variety of fish species, and therefore those case reports of renal lymphoma and plasmacytic leukemia are addressed within the context of this review.Keywords fish and marine animals, wildlife, urinary tract, oncologyBetween 30 000 and 40 000 species of fish have been reported in the literature and included in a variety of taxonomic classes falling under the infraphylum Gnathostomata or jawed vertebrates, which further consists of the extant class Chondrichthyes or cartilaginous fish and superclass Osteichthyes or the bony fish. 37 Within that enormous number of species, there is an extraordinary variety of structure and physiology, with species ranging in size from the smallest recorded fish (Paedocypris progenetica), measuring a mere 7.9 mm, 48 to the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), measuring up to 20 m in length. 15 It is therefore reasonable to expect that the pathology of fish encompasses an immense domain of entities and pathogeneses, representing a boundless field of potential discovery in veterinary pathology, particularly concerning spontaneous neoplastic disorders. The current paucity of information is due in large part to the environment in which the subjects live, the lack of our ability to track individuals throughout their range, and the fact that autolysis and predation affect the vast majority of samples, leaving the pathologist with a limited caseload of spontaneous neoplasms within wild populations. On the other hand, zoo and aquarium populations, private tropical and marine aquaria, and farmed fish are providing veterinary pathologists with a steady flow of novel entities and new interactions between host species and disease.The following review of neoplastic disease in the urinary system of bony and cartilaginous fishes relies heavily on the body of knowledge accumulated by the National Cancer Institute's Registry of Tumors in Lower Animals (RTLA) (Experimental Pathology Laboratories, Inc, Sterling, VA), which were donated from myriad sources as well as from the diligence of those researchers who have published their findings in the international literature. In addition, other sources were consulted as part of this review to include the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) archives, the Smithsonian National Zoo, department of pathology, and through the gene...
