title: EPIDERMAL PAPILLOMAS WITH VIRUS-LIKE PARTICLES IN FLATHEAD SOLE, HIPPOGLOSSOIDES ELASSODON.
abstract: Epidermal papillomas frequently occur on the external surfaces of flathead sole, Hippoglossoides elassodon, in the waters of San Juan Islands, Washington. Virus-like particles and associated granular bodies, also of possible viral nature, are commnonly found in the neoplastic epithelial cells of these tumors.
