An adenocarcinoma of the uterine stump with abdominal metastases is described in a 12-year-old incompletely ovariohysterectomised female Domestic Short Haired (DSH) cat. At the time of presentation the adenocarcinoma had metastasised to the right peri-renal lymph node, the abdominal aorta, and the right ureter, resulting in the formation of a large cystic structure. This had compressed and displaced surrounding structures including the abdominal vena cava and the right kidney, and formed multiple adhesions to the body wall and adjacent abdominal structures. Metastatic extension to the aorta had resulted in its regression into a 2mm diameter non-pulsatile vessel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
