ENDOMETRIAL POLYP AND CEH- PYOMETRA COMPLEX IN A DOG

摘要

The current report describes an endometrial polyp and cystic endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra complex in a ten year old female Labrador dog.Endometrial polyps are focal tumor-like growths projecting into the uterine lumen and consisting of benign endometrial glands in a vascularized connective tissue stroma (Cumber et al., 2010). Endometrial Polyps have been frequently detected in old bitches, without any breed predisposition (Gelberg and McEntee, 1984). Occasionally, they are described as cystadenomas. Animals with endometrial polyps are often asymptomatic, but can show mucopurulent or bloody vaginal discharge (Schlafer and Gifford, 2008; Chambers et al., 2011).
