Abstract
A one-month-old female Dunkin Hartley guineapig presented with a thin hair coat and distended abdomen. Post-mortem findings after euthanasia were a protein-rich modified peritoneal transudate and heterotopic pa ncreas at a site of colon stricture and ulceration. Complications of p ancreatic heterotopia are well recognized in man but not in animals. T he finding in this individual is probably unrelated to sudden deaths i n other animals in the group.
