“…From 13 000 slaughtered camels, one single animal was found to have a renal cell carcinoma (Vitovec, 1982). A primary bronchiolo‐alveolar adenocarcinoma was found in a dromedary camel (Gameel et al., 1998). In other animals, like cats and horses, gastric adenocarcinomas are rare, and in cattle exceptionally uncommon (Barker et al., 1993).…”

“…Tumours have been rarely documented in captive camelids. Previous reports of neoplasia in camelids describe lymphosarcomas (Cebra et al., 1995), renal cell carcinoma (Vitovec, 1982), and bronchiolo‐alveolar adenocarcinoma (Gameel et al., 1998). Gastric adenocarcinomas are rare in domestic animals and specific risk factors are not known (Barker et al., 1993).…”

A captive 16-year-old male camel (Camelus ferus bactrianus) was euthanized after a prolonged period of inappetence leading to cachexia. At necropsy, there was a 7 cm large, tan, firm, well-demarcated nodule in the tunica muscularis and serosa of the distal region of C3. Histologically, a gastric adenocarcinoma was diagnosed. Numerous metastases were found in the liver and the hepatic lymph nodes, in the wall of the portal vein and the aorta, in the lung, heart, and pleura parietalis. Osseous metaplasia was found within the pleural and aortic metastases. In the mucosa of the glandular region of the C3 compartment a diffuse marked hypertrophy of rugae resembling cerebral convolutions was observed. The lesion was characterized by glandular hyperplasia and stromal inflammation and oedema. These changes closely resembled Menétrier's disease described in humans. To our knowledge, this is the first report of concomitant metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric hyperplasia in a camel.

During post-slaughter inspection of dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius), two cases of leiomyoma were described in an eight and ten years old male camels. The neoplastic masses involved in the visceral pleura of one camel and lung tissue of another. Histopathologic features revealed proliferated neoplastic cells, resembling the smooth muscle cells, in the pleura and adjacent pulmonary tissue. The tumor masses appeared as circumscribed area of interlacing bundles of smooth muscle cells arranged in various directions and surrounded by connective tissue capsule. Moreover, the adjacent alveoli exhibited areas of atelectasis and emphysema. The origin of leiomyoma was not determined, but it was suggested that the neoplastic cells originated from smooth muscle layer of the pleural blood vessels.

SummaryCamel can tolerates water deprivation conditions more than two months. Kidneys are vital organs in this case. The objective of this study is recognition of kidney lesions. In this study 38 samples of kidney were collected from slaughter house of Tabbas and Mashhad. Specimens were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for at least 24 hours and then routinely processed and then the sections were stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), special staining and immunohistochemistry. Histopathological study revealed different lesions and the most common were glomerulonephritis. Other lesions were acute tubular necrosis (ATN), renal cyst and interstitial nephritis. Vascular calcification was significant lesions which were characterized with basophilic material in the intima of vessels. Renal adenoma was diagnosed in one camel and according to review literature it is the first report in camel. Camel is a comparatively hardy animal and is less susceptible to many of the diseases that affect other livestock species in the same area [1] . However, it is apparent that we know too little about the diseases from which it does suffer. In different reports, tubulonephrosis due to DNA virus [2] and Ricketsia-like organisms [3] , glomerulonephritis due to aflatoxicosis [4] , glomerulonephritis and interstitial nephritis [5] were described. Kidney lesions, especially nephritis, are major diseases of domestic animals. Outbreaks occur in camel, cattle, buffaloes and small ruminants in various countries of the world. This study was conducted with the objective of identifying the types of histopathological kidney lesions of slaughtered camels in north east of Iran.Tumours have been rarely documented in captive camelids. In the Arabian dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) there have been reports of an ovarian teratoma [6] ,
