Uterine Leiomyomas in Two Vietnamese Pot-bellied Pigs (Sus scrofa)

J. S. Munday and N. L. Stedman

Abstract

Two Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs (Sus scrofa) were euthanatized after they developed abdominal distension. Necropsy of both pigs revealed large myometrial neoplasms and cystic endometrial hyperplasia. Multiple discrete smaller myometrial neoplasms were also observed in one pig; however, distant metastases were not observed in either animal. The tumors were diagnosed as leiomyomas on the basis of histologic examination and immunohistochemistry. This is the first detailed report of uterine leiomyomas in swine, and it is suggested that this diagnosis may become more common as more aging pigs are examined.

Key words: Leiomyoma; pig; uterine neoplasia.
