An approximately 7 \u00d7 5-cm smooth, raised, ulcerated, and firm mass was present ventral and lateral to the dorsal fin on the left body wall. Whole-body CT images obtained before and after contrast administration revealed an encapsulated, homogeneous, fat-opaque mass within the muscle. The mass was fat echoic with poor vascularity on ultrasonographic examination. Histologic evaluation of an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy specimen was suggestive of a lipoma.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"s003\">\n<jats:title>TREATMENT AND OUTCOME<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The mass was excised, and the fish was placed in water with 0.3% salinity for 3 weeks after surgery. Postoperative antimicrobial administration was not indicated, and additional postoperative analgesic administration was considered impractical. The patient had noticeable improvement in appetite and activity with no indication of discomfort immediately following surgery. Five weeks after surgery, the incision site had healed with minimal scarring, and evaluation of CT images revealed no evidence of mass regrowth or regional osteomyelitis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"s004\">\n<jats:title>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Antemortem evaluation and diagnosis of a lipoma in a teleost with subsequent excision was described. This report highlighted the logistic challenges associated with anesthesia, advanced diagnostic imaging, and surgery in fish and showed that they can be successfully overcome so that high-level medical care can be provided to such patients.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.256.12.1379","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,27]],"date-time":"2020-05-27T19:01:00Z","timestamp":1590606060000},"page":"1379-1385","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Computed tomographic and ultrasonographic diagnosis with successful excision of a lipoma in a shusui koi (Cyprinus carpio)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"256","author":[{"given":"Spencer P.","family":"Kehoe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen J.","family":"Divers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joerg","family":"Mayer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica R.","family":"Comolli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abigail R.","family":"Armwood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Department of Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorelei L.","family":"Clarke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Department of Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602."},{"name":"4Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53706."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Ruby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Veterinary Biosciences and Diagnostic Imaging, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602."},{"name":"4Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53706."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ajay","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Veterinary Biosciences and Diagnostic Imaging, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Vet Clin Pathol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1939-165X.2004.tb00353.x","article-title":"Hematologic reference intervals for koi (Cyprinus carpio), including blood cell morphology, cytochemistry, and ultrastructure","volume":"33","author":"Tripathi","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"J Aquat Anim Health","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1577\/1548-8667(1991)003<0041:CIPBLP>2.3.CO;2","article-title":"Changes in peripheral blood leukocyte percentages and function of neutrophils in stressed channel catfish","volume":"3","author":"Ainsworth","year":"1991"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"J Fish Biol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"511","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1095-8649.1986.tb05187.x","article-title":"Haematological and immunological changes in channel catfish stressed by handling and transport","volume":"28","author":"Ellsaesser","year":"1986"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvex.2014.09.007","article-title":"Fish hematology and associated disorders","volume":"18","author":"Grant","year":"2015"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Oncorhynchus kisutch.
