“…It can occur solitaire or multiple on one or on both ovaries (Dow 1960) and is endocrine active or inactive (Olson et al 1989). There are different types of ovarian cysts: follicular cysts, cysts of subsurface epithelial structures (SES), cystic Rete ovarii , lutein cysts and cystic Corpora lutea (Dow 1960; Johnston et al 2001; Schlafer and Miller 2007). Follicular cysts are known to be endocrine active (e.g.…”

ContentsA total of 73 bitches with ovarian cysts were ovariohysterectomized. Cysts were characterized by gross pathology and endocrine parameters. Therefore, oestradiol-17ß and progesterone concentrations were assessed in cyst-fluid and corresponding blood plasma in each bitch. Our data demonstrated that multiple cysts were often present in a single individual (82%) and that cysts were commonly found on both ovaries (77%). The number of cysts per individual varied from 1 to 35. Most cysts were small in size (range 0.2–4.0 cm in diameter). No cyst was found to produce solely oestradiol-17ß or progesterone. Plasma levels of oestradiol-17ß and progesterone for a given individual were positively correlated with levels of these same hormones in their cyst-fluid (r = 0.334 and p = 0.001 for oestradiol-17ß; r = 0.419 and p < 0.001 for progesterone). Our study is the first to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the gross pathology and endocrinology of ovarian cysts in a larger number of bitches.

“…Cysts of subsurface epithelial structures (SES) and cystic Rete ovarii are not associated with the production of hormones (Olson et al 1989), and clinical signs of disease are uncommon. However, they can replace the surrounding physiological ovarian tissue (Dow 1960; McEntee 1990), which may secondary result in a functional loss.…”

“…It can occur solitaire or multiple in one or on both ovaries (Dow, 1960) and is endocrinely active or inactive (Olson et al 1989). Hormonally active ovarian cysts are of high clinical relevance because they are a significant source of hyperoestrogenism in bitches (Johnston et al, 2001), which may result in prolonged oestrus (Arlt et al, 2011;Knauf et al, 2013).…”

“…It is important to determine the presence of residual ovarian tissue since neoplasms can develop. It has been reported that 23.8% of ORS bitches developed neoplasms (Ball et al 2010), a higher percentage than the 6.25%, reported in intact bitches (Dow 1960), and the most frequent tumour in ORS bitches is the sex-cord stromal type. In the present study, the bitch was sterilised eight years previously (i.e.…”

ABSTRACT:A spayed Samoyed bitch, 12 years old, was presented to the Veterinary Clinical Hospital of the University of Cordoba (Spain) with abundant vulvar sanguineous discharge over the previous three days. The clinical examination revealed a remarkable vulvar mass, which protruded through the vulvar lips. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed the presence of structures compatible with uterus and ovary, which had been presumably removed eight years previously. An exploratory laparotomy was carried out, which confirmed the presence of the right ovary and a remnant of the uterus. The histological evaluation confirmed a granulosa cell tumour in the ovary, and an enlarged portion of the right uterine horn with brownish contents. The vulvar mass was also surgically removed and fibroma with some fibrosarcoma areas was diagnosed. This case shows the evolution of ovary and uterus into the abdomen, which were incorrectly removed after ovariohysterectomy eight years previously.
