The first intervention was an unidentified, badly preserved beaked whale carcass. On the second animal, a young male fin whale, 5.40 mt long in lenght, a complete necropsy was carried out one day after stranding. Main gross findings were granulomatous parasitic myocarditis, parasite cysts in urinary bladder ligaments and a large haemorrhagic area on the soft tissue of the dorsal neck region. Cardiac failure due to parasitic granulomas was the likely cause of death. Other/Unknown Material Fin whale Padua Research Archive (IRIS - Università degli Studi di Padova)
