Massive endometriosis was found in two rhesus monkeys during a chronic toxicological experiment. These cases had metastatic lesions in lymph nodes in addition to the foci on the serosal wall of pelvic organs. Invasion to the intestinal mucosal layer was also noted in a case. These observation indicated that endometriosis in the rhesus monkey might behave like a malignant neoplasm.
在一项慢性毒理学实验中,两只恒河猴被发现患有大面积子宫内膜异位症。这些病例除了盆腔器官浆膜壁上的病灶外,还在淋巴结有转移病变。其中一例还发现有侵犯至肠黏膜层的情况。这些观察结果表明,恒河猴的子宫内膜异位症可能表现得像恶性肿瘤。
