Multicentric Malignant Lymphoma In A Pallid Bat, Claire B. Andreasen, Julie R. Dulmstra

Claire B. Andreasen

A 2.5-year-old, female pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus) was captured in Oregon (USA) in 1990 and later died in 1992. At the time of death, abdominal distension due to ascites, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly, and a cheek mass were noted.
