Abstract

Diffusely invasive tumors occurred in the stomach of a 9-year-old female cougar (Felis concolor) from a zoo in Japan. The tumors consisted of tubular adenocarcinoma cells, and had infiltrative growth to the submucosa and muscularis propria. Tumor cells were positive for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), lysozyme, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), gastrin, alpha-1-fetoprotein (AFP), keratin, and B72.3. Mucin-like materials occurred within cytoplasmic vacuoles.
