Abstract

Reports of neoplasia in Chiroptera species are rare. (6, 10) This retrospective study describes five types of neoplasia identified within a captive population of male Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) housed in a zoo from 2004 through November of 2014. Tumor types identified include fibrosarcoma, cutaneous lymphoma, benign focal bronchioloalveolar neoplasm, anaplastic sarcoma, and sebaceous epithelioma. To the author's knowledge, aside from a recent report of focal brochioloalveolar adenoma, (8) these tumor types have not previously been described in the Rousettus species, nor in chiropterans in general. Based upon these findings and other recent publications regarding R. aegyptiacus, neoplasia does appear to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in captive members of this megachiropterid species.

摘要

翼手目动物发生肿瘤的报道较为罕见。（参考文献6, 10）本回顾性研究描述了2004年至2014年11月期间饲养在动物园的一群雄性埃及果蝠（埃及果蝠属）中发现的五种肿瘤类型。所确定的肿瘤类型包括纤维肉瘤、皮肤淋巴瘤、良性局灶性细支气管肺泡肿瘤、间变性肉瘤和皮脂腺上皮瘤。据作者所知，除了最近一篇关于局灶性细支气管肺泡腺瘤的报道外，（参考文献8）这些肿瘤类型此前在埃及果蝠属物种中未曾有过描述，在整个翼手目动物中也未被描述过。基于这些发现以及其他近期关于埃及果蝠的出版物，肿瘤似乎确实是这种大型翼手目物种圈养个体发病和死亡的一个重要原因。
