Abstract

SUMMARY Endometrial adenocarcinoma, endometriosis, and pyometra occurred in a rhesus monkey ( Macaca mulatta ) that died following an extended course of clinical disease characterized by diarrhea and weight loss. Necropsy findings included cystic endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial tissue in the uterine wall, colon, and a regional lymph node. A focus of adenocarcinoma was located in the proliferative endometrium. The endometrial cavity contained purulent fluid from which a pure culture of Escherichia coli was isolated.
