BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS AND CASE REPORTS

Squamous Cell Carcinoma in an American Bison (Bison bison bison)

M. Z. Marder, D. W. Cummings, D. J. Zegarelli, K. Neuschaefer and C. L. Pulse

Abstract

The following case report is, to the best of our knowledge, the first documentation of a squamous cell carcinoma in a full-blooded American bison (Bison bison bison). This female bison developed an ulcerated lesion on the left flank, at the site of a brand, in the summer of her eighth year. In the winter of her ninth year, as the lesion continued to grow, a biopsy was performed, and a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma was made. Ultimately, there was metastasis to the liver, a lung, and a prefemoral lymph node.

Key words: Bison; carcinoma; histopathology; liver; lung; lymph node; squamous cell carcinoma.
