Pelvic endometriosis and simian foamy virus infection in a pigtailed macaque.
Pelvic endometriosis and simian foamy virus infection occurred in a pigtailed macaque. Diffuse omental, peritoneal, and intestinal implantation of endometrium resulted in massive adhesions between adjacent abdominal and pelvic viscera, with formation of a large mass in the right caudal quadrant of the abdomen. Simian foamy virus type 1 was isolated from ectopic endometrium and from the uterine wall but was considered to be merely epiphenomenal.
