Multiple beta cell neoplasms in a polar bear: an immunohistochemical study

J Alroy et al. Vet Pathol. 1980 May.

Abstract

A 25-year-old polar bear had multiple pancreatic islet cell adenomas and carcinomas. Special staining and immunohistochemical techniques showed the neoplasms to be of beta cell origin. An association between excessive carbohydrate diet and the multiple beta cell neoplasms is suggested.
