A rare case of ovarian papillary adenocarcinoma in a bitch

Abstract

In the present case report, bilateral ovarian tumour (papillary adenocarcinoma) in a 4.5-year-old Saint Bernard bitch and its surgical management is described. Ovariohysterectomy was done and the surgically removed ovarian masses were prepared for histopathological studies. The tumour was associated with pyometra. Macroscopic and histopathological examination confirmed ovarian tumour. Grossly, the tumour consisted of pedunculated processes. The endometrium showed multifocal squamous metaplasia. The findings are discussed as possible consequences of the functioning ovarian tumour and pyometra.
