The nature and rate of neoplasia found at necropsy of captive wild animals of the Zoological Society of San Diego [California, USA] collection were studied. Neoplasia was present at necropsy in 2.75% of 3127 mammals, 1.89% of 5957 birds and 2.19% of 1233 reptiles. Neoplasms were not detected during 198 necropsies of amphibians. Gross and histologic examinations were performed on the 92 mammalian, 111 avian and 28 reptilian neoplasms. The lesions were diagnosed. The findings included a high frequency of lymphosarcomas in birds and reptiles, multiple lung adenomas in mammals, multiple endocrine tumors in 2 European mouflons (Ovis musimon) and proliferative lesions of the biliary and pancreatic ductal systems in several species.
