Abstract
Catfish Silurus asotus sampled from a pond farm in Korea, was affected with an epithelial tumor resembling catfish Ameiurus nrbulosus lip and mouth epithelioma. The neoplasm appeared in the form of solitary, multiple, large and fleshy masses upon the skin, fin or barbel. The epithelial tumor proliferation causes papillary folds supported by connective tissue cords. These folds extended above the normal skin surface and into the underlying dermis. In some area, proliferation of mucous cells or club cells were observed. The epithelial cells of the tumor were dispersed with no orderly arrangement. This is the first report on epithelioma of catfish in Korea.
