Histological examination of 187 tumours from 98 hens (laying hybrids of various lines, age 80-123 weeks) showed that highly-differentiated tubulo-alveolar adenocarcinoma was present in 95% of the birds; in 20% it had a scirrhus structure. Histological and ultrastructural features of these carcinomas and their tendency to form secretory granules pointed to an origin from the protein-secreting part of the oviduct (magnum). In the remaining 5% of birds there were non-specific adenocarcinomas (probably ovarian carcinoma) and mesotheliomas.
对98只母鸡（不同品系的产蛋杂交鸡，80 - 123周龄）的187个肿瘤进行组织学检查发现，95%的鸡患有高分化管状肺泡腺癌；其中20%具有硬癌结构。这些癌的组织学和超微结构特征以及它们形成分泌颗粒的倾向表明其起源于输卵管（峡部）的蛋白质分泌部分。其余5%的鸡患有非特异性腺癌（可能是卵巢癌）和间皮瘤。
