Diffusely invasive tumors occurred in the stomach of a 9-year-old fema le cougar (Felis concolor) from a zoo in Japan. The tumors consisted o f tubular adenocarcinoma cells, and had infiltrative growth to the sub mucosa and muscularis propria. Tumor cells were positive for carcinoem bryonic antigen (CEA), lysozyme, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), ga strin, alpha-1-fetoprotein (AFP), keratin, and B72.3. Mucin-like mater ials occurred within cytoplasmic vacuoles.
