“…Hydrosalpinx sometimes occurs as a result of external pressure from adhesions obstructing the lumen (McEntee, 1990) or of segmental aplasia (Hinrichs et al, 1984). Arthur (1958), in a study in which reproductive tracts were collected in the slaughterhouse observed a frequency of unilateral hydrosalpinx 0.25% (2/792), while Henry and Vandeplassche (1981) studying 2297 reproductive tracts of mares did not observe any cases of hydrosalpinx.…”

“…Hydrosalpinx is a build up of fluid inside the infundibulum and appears to be rare in horses, different from what occurs in cows and sows (McEntee, 1990).

“…Each uterine tube consists of an expansive infundibulum covering the ovary's ovulation fossa, a highly tortuous ampulla about 6 mm in diameter, and a less tortuous isthmus half the diameter of the ampulla (Kainer, 2011).

During a research visit for tissue collection at an abattoir located in Pelotas, Brazil, one female genital tract showed both enlarged oviducts. The reproductive tract was collected and analyzed. Occluded uterine tubes and an increase in the organ volume due to the large amount of fluid in the organ lumen were the macroscopic findings. Three samples, corresponding to isthmus, ampulla and infundibulum from each uterine tube and one sample from the endometrium were collected. Samples were fixed in Bouin's solution and processed in light microscopy. Microscopically a decrease in the number of folds and also an increase in the lumen of the organ were observed, mainly in the ampulla and infundibulum. The epithelial lining of the uterine tubes ranged from ciliated to simple squamous. Inflammatory cells were observed between the epithelial cells and in the lamina propria. Hydrosalpinx is difficult to diagnose and can be a cause of infertility in the mare.Keywords: fluid accumulation, uterine tubes, oviducts, equine, female Palavras-chave: acúmulo de fluido, tubas uterinas, ovidutos, equinos, fêmea RESUMO Durante uma visita de pesquisa para coleta de tecido em um abatedouro localizado na cidade de Pelotas, Brasil, foi observado um trato genital com aumento do tamanho dos ovidutos.

a b s t r a c tThe equine oviduct is considered as a reproductive organ with essential functions for early reproductive events. There is extensive literature on the pathology of the equine endometrium relating to reduced fertility, but in only few studies, the influence of alterations of the equine oviduct has been examined. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of inflammatory lesions in the oviduct and its association with endometrial inflammation and ovarian activity in mares. One hundred fifty Criollo mares were selected from a population of horses sent to slaughter at an abattoir. Internal reproductive tracts were recovered within 10 minutes after slaughter, and uterine and oviducts samples were collected, processed, stained with hematoxylin-eosin, and analyzed. From the total mares examined, 69.3% were considered cyclic, 18.7% in anestrus, and 12% in the transitional phase. No significant (P > .05) correlations coefficients were observed among the degree of inflammatory cells in oviduct and in endometrium from cyclic and noncyclic mares. Most studied mares had some degree of lymphocytic infiltration in the oviduct mucosa (64%). The incidence of neutrophilic and eosinophilic infiltration in oviducts occurred in 8% and 4% of the mares studied, respectively. Cyclicity did not influence the neutrophilic and eosinophilic infiltration (P > .05). The incidence of oviduct inflammation in Criollo mares is more frequent than previously reported in other breeds; however, the neutrophilic and eosinophilic infiltration is rare. Endometrial infiltration is not an oviduct infiltration cause and is possible to observe oviduct inflammation without endometrial inflammation.
