Deer fibroma: a review

J P Sundberg, S W Nielsen

    The Canadian Veterinary Journal = La Revue Veterinaire Canadienne
    |December 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Fibromas are common skin tumors in young deer, caused by cell overgrowth. Researchers identified virus particles in fibromas, but transmission attempts were not consistently successful.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Virology

    Background:

    • Fibromas are common skin neoplasms in young deer across various species.
    • These tumors exhibit proliferation of both epithelial and dermal cells.
    • Virus particles resembling those in other species' skin tumors have been observed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the nature of fibromas in deer.
    • To identify potential viral agents associated with deer fibromas.
    • To assess the transmissibility of fibromas.

    Main Methods:

    • Electron microscopy was used to identify virus particles.
    • Attempted transmission studies were conducted using filtered preparations.

    Main Results:

    • Virus particles, similar to those found in other species, were identified in deer fibromas.
    • Experimental transmission of fibromas was not uniformly successful.

    Conclusions:

    • Deer fibromas are likely of viral origin, though further research is needed.
    • The observed virus particles may play a role in fibroma development.
    • Challenges in transmission suggest complex etiological factors or limitations in current methods.
