Abstract

In this work we describe two neurofibromas in Betta splendens studied with optical microscopy, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. The specimen studied, that belonged to a private breeder, had marked abdominal distension, and was transferred for diagnosis to the Laboratory of Immunology and Pathology of Aquatic Organisms of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande – FURG. It was diagnosed as neurofibroma, positive for the antibody to protein S-100. With electronic microscopy, it showed signs of degeneration in some cells and contained mast cells (MC) regularly distributed in the neoplasm mass. With immunohistochemistry we confirmed the histogenesis of the neoplasm, in which there were two neurofibromas, and with electron microscopy we confirmed that the granular cells within the neoplastic tissue were MCs.
