Abstract

A flowerhorn fish with a subopercular mass, which had been reared in one of the private commercial aquaria was sent to the laboratory just before death. This fish began to show symptoms such as lethargy, anorexia, depression and dyspnea, and eventually died. The mass and intestinal organs were examined histopathologically. Thyroid showed variably sized follicles that contained abundant colloid and liver revealed steatosis. This report presents a case of goiter in the flowerhorn cichlid and its effect on the liver.

아가미 덮개 아래에 종괴를 가진 플라워혼이 서울의 사설 수족관에서 사육되다가 폐사 전 진단의뢰 되었다. 이 플라워혼은 무기력, 식욕부진, 침울 및 호흡곤란의 증상을 보인 후 폐사하였다. 종괴와 내장기관을 조직병리학적으로 조사한 결과, 갑상선에서 많은 양의 교질을 가진 다양한 크기의 낭포가 관찰되었고 간에서는 지방변성을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 증례는 플라워혼에서의 갑상선종 발생과 그것이 간에 미치는 영향을 보고하고자 한다.
