Rapid abdominal enlargement and weight gain occurred in a four‐year‐old Rhodesian ridgeback bitch in late oestrus. The bitch was nulliparous. Severe cardiovascular dysfunction followed and an exploratory laparotomy was performed. A large, single, spheroid mass weighing 17 kg was located in the middle section of the left uterine horn. A diagnosis of sterile, focal, cystic endometrial hyperplasia was made from gross pathology, histopathol‐ogy and bacteriology. The bitch made a complete recovery following an ovariohysterectomy.
