“…Endometriosis is not uncommon in rhesus monkeys, and it has been reported as a sequela to hysterotomy with additional effects of ovarian steroids [1,3,4,6,9,10] and as a latent effect of irradiation [1,6,7,9,11,12] . In most of the reported cases in rhesus monkeys, the lesion was limited to the wall of pelvic organs [1,3,[6][7][8][9][10]12] . The severe cases presented in this report are of particular interest due to widespread disseminationn of the endometrial tissues without prier histories of uterotomy nor irradiation.…”
