An intra-abdominal malignant mesenchymoma associated with nonabsorbable sutures in a ferret (Mustela putorius furo).

The article discusses research on a ferret that suffers from nonabsorbable sutures. It references a study by Marco Bedin and colleagues, published in the 2010 issue of the "Journal of the Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation." The researchers assessed the association of the condition of the ferret with the development of an intra-abdominal malignant mesenchymoma. They found that the neoplastic cells of the subject were negative for actin and positive for vimentin.
