Pancreatic carcinoma in an African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis).
???displayArticle.abstract???
This report describes the histologic features of a pancreatic carcinoma in an adult female African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis). The animal was found to be in poor body condition and subsequently euthanized for a complete necropsy. Histologically, the pancreas was effaced by packets of polyhedral cells consistent with a pancreatic islet cell carcinoma. Metastatic disease was not identified. Pancreatic tumors are uncommon in amphibians, and this report is the first to describe a pancreatic carcinoma in an African clawed frog.
