Vulvo-vaginal atresia in a queen with mammary and uterine tumors: case report

Bu sunumda meme tümörlü bir kedideki vulvovaginal atresi olgusunun klinik, preoperatif ve postoperatif bulguları verilmiştir. Vulvanın kateterizasyonunda dorsal ve ventral komissurasında olmak üzere iki küçük açıklık olduğu görüldü. Uterusun ultrasonografik muayenesinde ise kitlelere rastladı. Meme ve uterusdaki kitlelerin tedavisi için radikal mastektomi ve ovaryohisterektomi operasyonları uygulandı. Histopatolojik incelemede memede papillar adenokarsinoma, uterusda ise endometriyal poliplerin varlığı belirlendi. Bu hastada vulval anomaliye bağlı nulliparite olgusunun meme tümörü ve eş zamanlı endometrial poliplerin oluşumu için predizpoze faktör olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Meme ve uterus tümörü bulunan bir kedide Vulvo-vaginal atresi olgusu

The clinical, preoperative and postoperative findings taken from a case of vulvovaginal atresia in a queen with mammary tumors are reported here. The catheterization of the vulva showed only two small openings in dorsal and ventral comissura regions. During the ultrasonographic examination, uterine masses were observed. For treatment of mammary and uterine tumors, radical mastectomy and ovariohysterectomy were performed. In histopathological examination, mammary tumors and concurrent uterine mass were papillary adeocarcinoma and endometrial polyp, respectively. In this case nulliparity cause of vulval anomaly might be a predisposing factor for mammary and concurrent uterine tumors.
