Abstract:
A necropsy case of advanced gastric carcinoma in a 20-year-old female de Brazza's guenon (Cercopithecus neglectus) was studied, Grossly, an excavated carcinoma mass, 60 x 55 x 35 mm in size, was located in the cardiac region of the stomach. Multiple disseminated nodules had implanted on the diaphragm and omentum. The tumor consisted of intestinal-type adenocarcinoma cells and showed infiltrative growth beyond the serosa. The morphologic features of this tumor closely resembled those of advanced gastric carcinomas in human patients.
