Melanoma in a platy. Neoplastic cutaneous melanophores spreading via the dermis are encircling the platy and extend from the head to the tip of the tail. Tumour cells have destroyed and replaced most of the elements of the normal skin and their bulk has significantly expanded the surface outline. (Courtesy of I.S.

Polycystic kidney in a goldfish. The multilocular fluid-filled thin-walled mass of grossly dilated Bowman’s capsules occupies much of the body cavity. This is a non-neoplastic developmental anomaly that is due to the failed development of a connection to nephrons for drainage.
