Abstract

An adult guinea fowl maintained in the poultry farm of the institute died suddenly without manifesting any premonitory clinical signs. On necropsy, highly vascular pedunculated multiple growths were seen on the ovary. The growth, which originated from the ovary, was histopathologically confirmed as adenocarcinoma with transcoelomic spread over the duodenal serosa. An incidence of ovarian adenocarcinoma in guinea fowls and its transcoelomic spread has not been reported earlier
