Liver tumours (neoplasms) in flatfish have been reported from several species from North America (Myers et al., 1987, 1990, 1998a, b; Moore and Stegeman, 1994), including the English sole (Parophrys vetulus) and starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus), and European waters (Bucke and Feist, 1984; Vethaak and Jol, 1996; Vethaak and Wester, 1996) where the principle species exhibiting liver tumours are the European flounder (Platichthys flesus) and the dab (Limanda limanda).
