Abstract
Marine animals offer unparalleled diversity in form, behavior, environments occupied, and other attributes. Furthermore, certain of these animals have evolutionary links to humans. These features make marine animals of special interest to comparative and human pathologists. This article focuses on comparative aspects of 4 major disorders, namely, tumors, immunologic disorders, vascular pathology, and anatomic malformations.
