humans. Reports of natural or non-viral occurring neoplasms
among avian species is sparse. In a flock of 30 layers mortality rate was
13.3% with associated drop in egg production. An aged dead adult native hen was
referred for necropsy. Grossly, pedunculated, firm, greyish-white fleshy
growths were found attached to the serosal surface of ovary together with spread
over the whole of intestine serosa. Microscopically, the ovarian growths
consisted of a tubular pattern confirmed as adenocarcinoma with metastasis on
the intestines.
