This study was conducted in order to providefurtherinformation on clinical signs as well as macroscopic and microscopic lesions in the uterus of the 6 rabbits in Hanoi. In the present study, pet rabbits were determined the clinical symptoms, gross features, and microscopic lesions using through clinical observation and histopathological methods. Clinical symptoms were often non-specific, mainly in the genital-urinary tract, such as vaginal discharge/bleeding, abnormal swelling. The condition was discovered as an incidental finding during neutering (in 4 rabbits) and abdominal palpation (in 2 rabbits). The histopathological examination revealed that uterine adenocarcinoma in 3 rabbits, endometrial hyperplasia in 2 rabbits, and uterine leiomyoma with endometrial hyperplasia in a rabbit. Therefore, female rabbits as pets should be routine check-ups. Additionally, ovariohysterectomy should be performed early if the rabbit is not intended to be bred for reducing the risk of uterine problems.
