Article Synopsis
  • Neoplasia in lizards is under-researched, and a study reviewed medical records from the Exotic Species Cancer Research Alliance (ESCRA), identifying 55 lizards across 20 species and examining factors like prevalence, treatment outcomes, and species differences.
  • Statistical analyses revealed that certain lizard species, such as Komodo dragons and savannah monitors, faced higher mortality rates from neoplasia, while types of tumors like leukemia and chondrosarcoma were linked to specific outcomes.
  • Treatment strategies also played a role, with surgery and radiation showing associations with non-neoplastic deaths, and lizards not undergoing treatment facing greater risks from neoplastic causes.

A cardiac gallop was noticed on thoracic auscultation, and a 1st-degree atrioventricular block and sinus tachycardia were noted on an electrocardiogram. Echocardiography identified a hypoechoic, irregularly marginated luminal mass in the right ventricle at the level of the pulmonic valves.
