Cholangioma In A Wild-Caught Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon Variegatus) From The Northern Gulf Of Mexico, Lee A. Courtney
Gulf and Caribbean Research
A single case of ac holangioma occurred in the liver of a wild-caught sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus). This is the first biliary neoplasm and second case of a hepatic neoplasm reported from a wild-caught specimen of this species. The findings further demonstrate the susceptibility of the sheepshead minnow to neoplasm development and add support to its selection as a subject for field monitoring of carcinogenic exposure.
