Gular Cutaneous Fibrosarcoma and Anatomophysiological Considerations for Anaesthesia in a Saddled Bichir, Polypterus endlicheri endlicheri

Figure 3

Mass in the gular region of a saddled bichir (Polypterus endlicheri endlicheri). (a) Gular mass immediately prior to surgical excision. The mass is seen to be emerging from tissue deep to the axial margins of gular plates, pushing the plate margins abaxially. (b) Cut surface of excised gular mass revealing its moist appearance, white colour and moderately firm consistency.
