Abstract:
During necropsy of 1248 adult chickens, 126 non-leukotic neoplasms were diagnosed as follows: 83 (65.9%) peritoneal carcinomatosis, 24 (19.0%) myxosarcomas, 17 (13.5%) leiomyomas, and 2 (1.6%) haemangiopericytomas. In addition, three tumours in pigeons were found to be basal cell carcinomas. Haemangiopericytomas in chickens and basal cell carcinomas in pigeons are recorded here for the first time. The ovarian origin of the neoplasms designated as peritoneal carcinomas is confirmed and discussed.
