Gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma (carcinoid) in a ferret (Mustela putorius furo) .
A well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the stomach (gastric carcinoid) with transcoelomic and lymph node metastasis was confirmed on post-mortem examination of a 3-year-old, spayed female, domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) . The animal was initially presented with a history of persistent vomiting which progressed to weight loss, a palpable abdominal mass, and melena. The ferret received palliative treatment and was euthanized 9 mo after initial presentation. The clinical, ultrasonographical, cytological, gross pathological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings are described. Gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas are rarely reported in animals; this is the first description in a ferret. Key clinical message: Veterinary practitioners and diagnosticians should include neuroendocrine carcinoma as a differential diagnosis when encountering gastric neoplasms in ferrets and be aware of the potential for aggressive behavior and widely spread metastasis.
