Tumors Characteristic for Certain Animal Species

A Review^*

Hans G. Schlumberger

( Department of Pathology, College of Medicine, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio)

There is great variety in the nature and incidence of tumors found among different animals; but when sufficient data are available, a certain neoplasm often proves characteristic for a particular species. Although these species-specific tumors have a genetic basis, evocation of the neoplastic growth is often dependent upon infectious agents or physical and chemical factors in the environment.
