  • Title: Leiomyosarcoma of the jejunum in a budgerigar.
    Author: Steinberg H.
    Journal: Avian Dis; 1988; 32(1):166-8. PubMed ID: 3382376.
    Abstract:
    Exploratory abdominal surgery in a budgerigar with a history of lethargy, feather fluffing, and melena revealed a neoplastic mass associated with the jejunal muscularis. Histologically, the nonencapsulated cellular mass was composed of sheets of spindle-shaped cells with pleomorphic nuclei, numerous and bizarre mitotic figures, and admixed anaplastic sarcomatous and giant cells. Special stains confirmed the cell of origin as the leiomyocyte. These characteristics warranted a diagnosis of jejunal leiomyosarcoma, previously unreported in the budgerigar.
