Soft tissue sarcomas in 2 zoo-housed Alaskan moose
Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are common well-described cutaneous neoplasms in many domestic species. Few cutaneous neoplasms have been reported in cervids, other than papilloma virus–induced benign cutaneous fibromas (BCFs). Two wild-caught Alaskan moose (Alces alces), housed at different North Ameri...
