A case of cystic papillary adenocarcinoma in an aged female Wistar rat on the posterior mammary glands is reported. A firm spherical mass approximately 2 cm in diameter was observed in the posterior pair of mammary glands, covered with skin. The rat was euthanized and a detailed necropsy examination was carried out. Representative tissue samples of the mass were collected in formalin, and histopathological examination revealed cystic papillary adenocarcinoma.
