    Author: Shin NS, Kwon SW, Kim DY, Kweon OK, Seo IB, Kim JH.
    Journal: J Zoo Wildl Med; 1998 Mar; 29(1):81-3. PubMed ID: 9638633.
    Abstract:
    An 8-yr-old female tiger (Panthera tigris) died following a 2-wk history of progressive depression, anorexia, respiratory insufficiency, and exercise intolerance. At the time of necropsy, numerous coalescing, 4-20-mm, tan, firm nodules were scattered throughout the pleural surfaces of the thoracic wall and the mediastinum, giving a velvety appearance to these surfaces. Histologically, the nodules were diagnosed as malignant pleural mesothelioma. Secondary metastasis to the regional tracheobronchial and mediastinal lymph nodes was observed.
