Abstract

In order to describe anatomical aspects of Peyer's patches in picuro (Cuniculus paca), 10 samples of small intestine of picuros from rural communities in the regionof Tambopata -Madre de Dios were collected and analyzed. The results showed that the Peyer's patches in picuros are isolated and independent structures that are distributed throughout the small intestine, with respect to the transverse plane of the intestine, mainly in the antimesenteric border and randomly with respect to the longitudinal plane; Although the number and size of Peyer's patches show variability, the best records are observed at the level of the jejunum, with a significant difference (p<0.05) in relation to the other segments. Concluding that the Peyer's patches of picuros(Cuniculus paca)are anatomically peculiar among many mammals, but they resemble animals classified in group II such as rodents, non-human primates and rabbits.
