Metastatic adenocarcinoma in two California sea lions, Zalophus c. californianus.
Two California sea lions (Zalophus californianus californianus) came to necropsy with morphologically identical metastatic tumors. These were glandular epithelial origin and were widespread throughout the visceral organs. Both animals were found beached and dead within two months and were only 220 km apart.
