A 39-yr-old, acyclic, uniparous, female white rhinoceros with a history of recurrent vaginal bleeding was euthanized following a period of respiratory distress and ill-thrift. The rhinoceros' uterus had previously been evaluated by ultrasound and diffuse endometrial hyperplasia and two benign uterine leiomyomas had been diagnosed. At necropsy examination, a large, infiltrative, metastatic uterine adenocarcinoma was found multifocally throughout the uterus, scattered within the peritoneal cavity, on the diaphragm, the splenic capsule, the pleural surface of the lung and mesenteric lymph nodes. A large volume (100 L) of ascites fluid was present in the abdominal and pleural cavities.
一头39岁、未孕、单胎的雌性白犀牛，有反复阴道出血史，在出现一段时期的呼吸窘迫和身体消瘦后实施了安乐死。此前已通过超声对该犀牛的子宫进行了评估，并诊断出弥漫性子宫内膜增生和两个良性子宫平滑肌瘤。尸检时，在整个子宫内多处发现一个巨大的、浸润性的转移性子宫腺癌，散在于腹腔、膈肌、脾包膜、肺胸膜表面和肠系膜淋巴结。腹腔和胸腔内有大量（100升）腹水。
