Abstract :

A 12 years old Labrador retriever dog weighing 30 kg was brought to Near East University Animal Hospital for a routine pregnancy examination. At the end of the examination it was determined that mating occurred 45 days prior to the examination. The dogâ��s body temperature was 38.6 �°C and general condition appeared to be normal. Blood samples were taken for hormonal and other laboratory analyses. During abdominal palpation, a hard, round moving structure was determined on the right side. Ultrasonographic and radiographic examination revealed no pathologic structures in the uterus and lungs; however, a wavy and cauliflower-like structure was present in the abdomen. This structure was thought to be located on the right ovary. In addition to this, the presence of ascites fluid showed that this structure can be ovarian in origin and may be related to other organs. Additionally, blood analyses showed high white blood cell count, together with low levels of albumin and hematocrit. Serum progesterone and estradiol levels were; 37.70 ng/ml and 119.06 pg/ml respectively. It was decided that anovariohysterectomy would be performed. The abdomen was opened from linea alba. Firstly, ascites fluid was aspirated (1.6 lt). A tennis ball sized mass on the right ovarium was ligatured and removed. After the mass was ligatured the incision line was extended to the sternum. The tumour weighed 1.3 kg (20��16 cm). No pathological difference were detected in the uterus, however, the presence of a tumour formation was seen in left ovarium after the bursa ovarica was opened. Histopathological examination revealed ovarian papillary cystadenoma. The tumour was characterized by the presence of cysts and proliferation of papillae, both lined by single or multi-layered cuboidal to columnar epithelial cells. In conclusion, in non pregnancy cases with abdominal abnormalities ultrasonographic examination, ovarium control and high E2 levels maybe crucial for the correct diagnosis of ovarian tumours.
