Cystic endometrial hyperplasia is a neoplasm that affects the reproductive system of uncastrated females. The main causes that lead to the appearance of this disease are the accumulation of exudate and uterine inflammation that, when evolving, can cause sepsis in the animal, increasing the chances of leading to death. Clinical signs of cystic endometrial hyperplasia include anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, depression, polydipsia and polyuria, in addition to purulent vaginal discharge. A common marmoset female arrived at a zoo as a result of illegal trafficking. His history was unknown, but he showed signs of osteodystrophy, which was promptly treated and the case improved. After a few months, the animal showed signs of cystitis, including hematuria and vulvar licking, which was treated with antibiotics and the treatment was successful. However, after being diagnosed again with cystitis, antibiotic therapy was not effective, which led to the indication of an ultrasound examination that indicated the presence of hyperechogenic cysts in the right ovary and uterine enlargement. In view of this, therapeutic castration was chosen, since the zoo was not interested in reproducing the species. Thus, the procedure was successfully performed and the changes indicated in the ultrasound were confirmed. The animal underwent a satisfactory recovery and since then has not had any of the signs it had previously shown. After evaluating all possible treatments, it was concluded that the best option for this case was surgical therapy. However, it is possible that the patient will experience hormonal changes in the future. In view of this, it is extremely important to carry out the correct diagnosis so that the problem is treated as early as possible
