Unusual case of pyometra in a bichon frise dog
Katherine Malik. Can Vet J. 2017 Dec.
Abstract
An intact female bichon frise dog with anorexia and chronic vaginal discharge, was clinically diagnosed with an open pyometra upon workup and ovariohysterectomy. Two cystic structures were identified protruding from the uterine body and the wall appeared thickened. Histopathology revealed pyometra, cystic endometria hyperplasia, and adenomyosis with squamous metaplasia.
Cas inhabituel de pyométrite chez une chienne Bichon frisé. Une chienne Bichon frisé intacte atteinte d’anorexie et de pertes vaginales chroniques a reçu un diagnostic clinique de pyométrite ouverte après le profil sanguin et l’ovariohystérectomie. On a identifié deux structures cystiques qui faisaient protrusion du corps utérin et la paroi semblait épaissie. L’histopathologie a révélé la pyométrite, l’hyperplasie de l’endométrite cystique et l’adénomyose avec une métaplasie squameuse.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
