Adenomyosis with severe inflammation in the uterine cervix in a dog
Hiromichi Tamada et al. Can Vet J. 2005 Apr.
Abstract
A dog with purulent vulval discharge was found to have many cysts containing purulent mucus in the uterine cervix. The uterine horns did not contain any pus. Histological examination revealed a cervical adenomyosis infiltrated by many neutrophils. After an ovariohysterectomy including the whole cervix, the dog recovered well.
Résumé — Adénomyose et forte inflammation du col de l’utérus chez une chienne. Une chienne avec un écoulement vulvaire purulent présentait plusieurs kystes contenant du mucus purulent dans le col de l’utérus. Les cornes utérines ne contenaient pas de pus. L’examen histologique a révélé une adénomyose cervicale infiltrée par de nombreux neutrophiles. Après une ovariohystérectomie comprenant le col en entier, la chienne s’est bien rétablie.
