“…Two types of proliferative tissue changes were reported in Bream: epidermal hyperplasia and skin papilloma, which are considered the successive stages of epizootic cutaneous papillomatosis in fish (Chukalova et al. ). Although the virological agent of the disease in Bream has not yet been identified, an association between these tumors and the presence of viruses has been demonstrated in cyprinids (Sirri et al.…”

The present study supports the usefulness of ancillary techniques, such as immunohistochemistry, as a valid diagnostic tool in the field of fish oncology. The immunohistochemical patterns observed in four neoplasms on four individual teleosts belonging to different species are described. Cytokeratin, vimentin, actin, S100, calretinin, and Melan-A antibodies were used. Diagnoses of papilloma in a Bream Abramis brama, fibroma in a Sand Steenbras Lithognathus mormyrus, schwannoma in a Crucian Carp Carassius carassius, and melanoma in a spontaneously inbred Xiphophorus hybrid were made. Diagnosis of tumors in fish is not always easy to carry out, and the tool provided by antibodies used on mammalian tissue is essential for obtaining definitive, unambiguous, and inexpensive identification.

“…This pathology could be related to adverse and polluted environmental conditions and algal oncogenic toxins (Chukalova et al. ). The finding of this neoplasia (tumor 3) in a Bream represents an unusual event in Italy.…”

“…A similar process was noted during the development of papilloma in a goldfish hybrid ( Carassius auratus gibelio ), koi carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) (Hongda et al., 2009) and common catfish ( Silurus glanis ) (Golovina, 2003). Such epidermal formations, mostly benign, are quite common in fish of various species (Carlisle & Roberts, 1977; Chukalova et al., 2013; Hongda et al., 2009; Peters & Waterman, 1979; Schubert, 1966) and are believed to be caused by chemical pollutants (Beckwith et al., 2000; Chen et al., 1996), injuries to the skin (Peters & Waterman, 1979) and viruses (Graham et al., 2004; Herman et al., 1997; Schubert, 1966). Herpes virus has been detected in papilloma tissues using electron microscopy (Carlisle & Roberts, 1977; Peters, 1984; Shchelkunov et al., 1992; Wolf, 1988; Yamamoto et al, 1984), but it has not been isolated in cell cultures.…”

In October 2014, a case of mass skin lesions was reported in whitespotted char (Salvelinus leucomaenis) caught in the Nalycheva River on the Kamchatka peninsula (Russia). The proportion of affected fish was approximately 50% of the catch. Lesions of varying severity were noted from small tubercles to large single and confluent formations and ulcers. Papilloma‐like growths were found in the epidermal layer of the skin of the affected fish. Histopathological alterations included the following: submerged growth of epithelial cells, infiltration of inflammatory cells, oedema of scale pockets, resorption of scales, haemorrhages, local necrosis and an increased number of mucous cells. In the dermal layer of the skin, haemorrhages and extensive necrosis were recorded. Inflammation, necrosis and destruction of myocytes were found in the underlying musculature. This is the first documented case of papilloma‐like skin lesions found in salmonids in Kamchatka. The affected whitespotted char were deemed unsuitable as a food product due to their unsatisfactory appearance and impermissible levels of bacterial contamination of the muscles.
