Physical examination determined the mass was likely to be stomach, testes or the right kidney. Radiographs showed a soft tissue opacity mass in the region of the stomach; fine needle aspirate demonstrated cellular debris admixed with bacteria and degenerate heterophils. Exploratory coeliotomy revealed a gastric mass involving 90% of the length of the stomach, partially occluding the gastric lumen. A subtotal gastrectomy was performed; the neoplastic tissue was removed with 2\u2009cm margins, leaving 1\u2009cm of stomach wall and the pyloric sphincter caudally that was anastomosed to the oesophagus. Four large nematodes were found within the necrotic lumen of the mass tightly adhered to the gastric mucosa. Ascarid nematodes were identified morphologically and further confirmed by molecular diagnostics as <jats:italic>Ophidascaris<\/jats:italic> spp. Histopathological evaluation of the excised mass revealed a gastric adenocarcinoma. Postoperatively the snake suffered from gastrointestinal dysfunction and maldigestion and was managed with slurry feeding for month. Three months postoperatively the snake was gaining weight, eating without assistance and digesting whole prey, which was incrementally increased in size. Gastroscopy 6\u2009months postoperatively revealed the presence of a functional stomach with a functional pyloric sphincter and 8.5\u2009cm of gastric mucosa caudal to the anastomosis between the oesophagus and stomach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is the first report of almost complete subtotal gastric resection in an Australian python, with evidence of compensatory gastric stretching resulting in a functional stomach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/avj.12764","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,27]],"date-time":"2018-11-27T05:02:16Z","timestamp":1543294936000},"page":"481-486","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Compensatory gastric stretching following subtotal gastric resection due to gastric adenocarcinoma in a diamond python (<scp><i>Morelia spilota spilota<\/i><\/scp>)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"HR","family":"Baron","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Avian Reptile and Exotic Pet Hospital, School of Veterinary Science University of Sydney  Camden 2570 New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"\u0160lapeta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Pathology Diagnostic Services, Sydney School of Veterinary Science, Faculty of Science The University of Sydney  Camperdown NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SL","family":"Donahoe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Pathology Diagnostic Services, Sydney School of Veterinary Science, Faculty of Science The University of Sydney  Camperdown NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"RTJ","family":"Doneley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UQ Vets, School of Veterinary Science University of Queensland  Gatton QLD Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"DN","family":"Phalen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Avian Reptile and Exotic Pet Hospital, School of Veterinary Science University of Sydney  Camden 2570 New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"243","volume-title":"Zoo & wildlife medicine current therapy 4","author":"McCracken HE","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10635150600852011"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jcpa.1998.0253"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","first-page":"28","article-title":"A retrospective study of neoplasia in a collection of captive snakes","volume":"27","author":"Ramsay EC","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Zoo Wildl Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1638\/04-112.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvex.2016.07.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcpa.2016.05.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","first-page":"133","article-title":"Gastric adenocarcinoma in a Florida indigo snake (\n                     Drymarchon corais couperi\n                  )","volume":"25","author":"Martin JC","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Zoo Wildl Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcpa.2018.02.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvex.2004.04.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/avj.12233"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1974.03230350056037"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","first-page":"S136","article-title":"Kim et al.
