SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA IN AN OCELOT (LEOPARDUS PARDALIS)

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

A case of squamous cell carcinoma (epidermoid carcinoma) of the ear canal in an old female ocelot (Leopardus [Felis] pardalis) is described. Microscopic examination of the neoplasm revealed a pattern characteristic of invasive carcinoma, but metastatic spreading was not seen. This is the first reported case of epidermoid carcinoma in ocelot to our knowledge.

KEY WORDS:
