Pancreatic duct adenoma and strangulation of the small intestine in a California sea lion (Zalophus californianus).
A 16 year-old female California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) died in a zoological garden following a period of insidious weight loss. Necropsy revealed a loop of intestine strangulated by a fibrous ring connected to a pancreatic mass. Histopathologic diagnosis of the latter was pancreatic duct adenoma.
