  • Title: MEDIASTINAL LYMPHOMA AND CHYLOTHORAX IN A STRIPED SKUNK (MEPHITIS MEPHITIS).
    Author: Liptovszky M, Kerekes Z, Perge E, Vajdovich P, Papp EÁ, Molnár V.
    Journal: J Zoo Wildl Med; 2017 Jun; 48(2):598-601. PubMed ID: 28749284.
    Abstract:
    Tumors are infrequently reported in skunks, with only a few case reports published in the literature. Chylothorax associated with mediastinal lymphoma was diagnosed in a captive 7-yr-old male striped skunk ( Mephitis mephitis ). The animal presented with anorexia and apathy. Supportive care and prednisolone improved the animal's clinical status for 2 wk preceding its death. Histopathology supported the clinical findings, and the tumor was classified as a mediastinal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, stage 2b, which has not been documented in the literature.
