Bilateral Malignant Seminoma With Ventricular Metastasis in a Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)

Abstract

A 30-year-old bald eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was presented with a history of hyporexia and lethargy. Results of initial hematologic testing, biochemical analysis, and fecal examination were unremarkable, and clinical signs did not resolve with supportive care and management changes. Results of echocardiography, based on auscultation of a murmur, and coelomic endoscopy, based on the presence of a soft tissue opacity on radiographs, as well as an aspergillosis panel were largely unsuccessful in determining a definitive diagnosis. Euthanasia was performed after the eagle did not recover from anesthesia after endoscopy. Necropsy results demonstrated bilateral testicular seminomas with metastases to the ventriculus. This case demonstrates an abnormal metastasis of a common reproductive tumor in an avian species.
