  • Title: Solitary adenoma in the proventriculus of a budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) diagnosed by immunochemistry - short communication.
    Author: János G, Marosán M, Kozma A, Mándoki M.
    Journal: Acta Vet Hung; 2011 Dec; 59(4):439-44. PubMed ID: 22079705.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a solitary adenoma in a 5.5-year-old female Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus). The tumour was partially blocking the lumen of the proventriculus and filled it almost completely. Decreased passage of food towards the gizzard and the intestines developed in the bird as result of the obstruction, which periodically hindered the passage, leading to slow emaciation. An epithelial tumour composed of irregular glandular acini was diagnosed by histological examination. Immunohistochemical reaction with pancytokeratin showed a positive cytoplasmic reaction both in the neoplastic and the normal glandular structures.
