Abstract
This study was the first to identify a cutaneous fibroma, a type of skin tumor, in a largescale mullet (Planiliza macrolepis). The distinct, irregularly oval, reddish-white, and fleshy tumors, measuring approximately 2.3 cm x 2.5 cm x 1 cm, were located in the dorsal region of the head and were separated from the underlying muscles by fat. Histopathologic analysis revealed irregular tissue with a dense fibrous stroma containing collagenous and reticular fibers and an abundance of rapidly growing, spindle-shaped hyperplastic cells arranged in interwoven bundles. This data advances our knowledge of skin tumors in fish, supporting future research in aquatic pathology, cancer, and environmental pollution.
这项研究首次在大型鲻鱼(Planiliza macrolepis)身上发现了皮肤纤维瘤(一种皮肤肿瘤)。这些明显的、不规则椭圆形、红白色、肉质的肿瘤,大小约为 2.3 厘米 x 2.5 厘米 x 1 厘米,位于鲻鱼的头部背面,与下面的肌肉被脂肪隔开。组织病理学分析显示,肿瘤组织不规则,基质为致密的纤维基质,含有胶原纤维和网状纤维,并有大量快速生长的纺锤形增生细胞交织成束。这些数据增进了我们对鱼类皮肤肿瘤的了解,有助于今后在水生病理学、癌症和环境污染方面的研究。
