Aplasia de corno uterino com adenocarcinoma em gata: relato de caso

Abstract

Uterine aplasia is a congenital malformation described mainly in small animals resulting from the incomplete development of the paramesonephric or Müllerian ducts during the embryonic phase. Parallel to this, uterine neoplasia in cats, more precisely adenocarcinoma, is a rare malignant pathology and is more predisposing in middle-aged animals. The present report describes a clinical case of uterine aplasia with adenocarcinoma and pyometra and their respective clinical, ultrasonographic and histopathological findings in a female of the feline species treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Paraíba, in the city of Areia, PB. In the anamnesis, the owner reported that the animal was rescued from the street the day before with purulent secretion from the vulva. On ultrasound examination, pyometra was found with the left uterine horn not visible. The recommended treatment was ovariohysterectomy. During the surgical procedure, the presence of a tumor in the uterine horn was observed. After carrying out the histopathological examination, it was diagnosed. The post-surgical recovery was uneventful.
