The clinical, gross morphological and histological characteristics of bilateral ovarian papillary cystadenocarcinomas in an adult female green iguana (Iguana iguana) are documented in this report. Histologically, the tumour consisted of an invasive mass of small glandular structures, irregular arboriform papillae and cystic structures arising from the ovarian surface epithelium. Metastatic implants were extensively disseminated along the serosa of the coelomic viscera, mesentery and fat bodies. Tumour morphology and metastatic behaviour indicated a close resemblance to cystadenocarcinoma in other species. Primary ovarian neoplasia is rare in reptiles; documented cases include tumours arising from surface epithelium, germ cells and sex cord stroma.
本报告记录了一只成年雌性绿鬣蜥（Iguana iguana）双侧卵巢乳头状囊腺癌的临床、大体形态学和组织学特征。组织学上，肿瘤由侵袭性的小腺管结构、不规则树枝状乳头和起源于卵巢表面上皮的囊性结构组成。转移瘤广泛散布于体腔脏器的浆膜、肠系膜和脂肪体。肿瘤形态和转移行为表明与其他物种的囊腺癌极为相似。原发性卵巢肿瘤在爬行动物中较为罕见；已记录的病例包括起源于表面上皮、生殖细胞和性索间质的肿瘤。
