Metastatic Uterine Adenocarcinoma in a Sable Antelope (Hippotragus niger).

ABSTRACT: A nine-year-old intact female sable antelope (Hippotragus niger) with a six-week history of gradual loss of body condition was found dead by the owner and presented for autopsy.

The samples from the other tissues revealed neoplastic cells w
