Background -Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is an uncommon disease affecting koi carp (Cyprinus carpio). Cutaneous papilloma (carp pox) is a benign epidermal proliferation reported in koi and has been shown to be caused by Cyprinid Herpesvirus 1 (CyHV1).Hypothesis/Objectives -Histological, ultrastructural and molecular investigations were carried out aiming to investigate the aetiology of cSCC within archived tissue samples.Animals -Surgical samples of masses located on the integument, fins and lips of 13 koi carp belonging to different private owners were included in this retrospective study.Methods -CyHV1 DNA and RNA presence were investigated in five cSCC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples to recognize CyHV1 presence and its replication activity.Results -All cases were histologically diagnosed as cSCC. The ultrastructural observations confirmed the squamous differentiation of neoplastic epithelial cells, which showed abundant tonofilament bundles and desmosomes. Although no virus particles were revealed ultrastructurally, the molecular investigation detected viral DNA in five epidemiologically unrelated cSCC. Viral transcript analysis revealed no evidence for viral replication in the tested cSCC, which could be consistent with latent infection.Conclusions and clinical importance -These findings illustrate the frequent association of carp cSCC with CyHV1, although a direct cause-effect relationship cannot be established at this time. Therefore, surveillance programmes should take into account the suspected viral origin of cSCC to better inform prevention and control of CyHV1 in the future.

“…Single case reports or those involving a small number of cases include squamous cell carcinoma in gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) by Fournie et al (1987), capillary hemangiomas in a scamp (Mycteroperca phenax) , a hepatocellular neoplasm in a wild-caught sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) (Oliveira et al 1994), several cases of subcutaneous fibrosarcomas (fibromatoses or fibromas) in striped mullet (Mugil cephalus) Overstreet 1988) (note more severe neoplasms in September 1979; Figure 14.59), and subcutaneous fibromas in southern flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma) and the sea catfish (Arias felis) . Overstreet (1983b) illustrated an epidermal papilloma in a red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus).…”

“…Squamous cell carcinoma has been reported in a number of species, for example Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L. (Roberts ); oscar, Astronotus ocellatus (Agassiz; Rahmati‐Holasoo et al . ); rudd, Scardinius erythrophthalmus (L.; Hanjavanit & Mulcahy ); gudgeon, Gobio gobio (L.; Mawdesley‐Thomas & Bucke ); gulf menhaden, Brevoortia patronus Goode (Fournie, Vogelbein & Overstreet ); and the hybrid sunfish (Fitzgerald, Carlton & Sandusky ). This is, however, the first such report in a characin.…”
