- Abstract
This article presents a study of lymphosarcoma in a wild grayling, Thymallus thymallus L. The lymphoid neoplasm is the most common tumour in warm blooded animals. In fish, tumours of haematopoietic origin have been described only in Osteichthyes with the exception of one case in a brown shark. During field studies on the distribution of bacterial kidney disease in wild fish, a small tributary of the Danube in Bavaria was sampled by electrofishing. Histologically, anterior kidney tissue as well as the haemopoietic tissue of the posterior kidney was replaced by dense masses of undifferentiated, uniform mononuclear lymphoblastoid cells.
