Unilateral Ovarian Mature Teratoma and Hydrometra Case in a Queen

Abstract

A 3-year-old crossbred cat with the complaint of abdominal distension was brought to Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology clinic. Blood sample was evaluated within normal ranges except of mild leucocytosis and increased urea. On ultrasonographic examination a fluid filled uterus and a mass in right ovary were screened. Complete surgical excision was performed and unilateral ovarian mature teratoma and hydrometra were diagnosed. Previous reports about feline teratoma did not state other uterine alterations related to uterine disorders. This case was deemed appropriate to be reported because it was the first case of hydrometra associated with an ovarian teratoma. So we recommend ovariohysterectomy for these kind of cases due to the fluid accumulation within the uterus with ovarian mass formation.

Dişi Bir Kedide Tek Taraflı Ovaryan Mature Teratoma ve Hidrometra Olgusu

Öz

Üç yaşlı melez bir kedi İstanbul Üniversitesi Cerrahpaşa, Doğum ve Jinekoloji Anabilim Dalı kliniğine abdominal genişleme şikayeti ile getirildi.  Kan tahlili sonucu orta düzeyde lökositoz ve artmış üre seviyesi dışında normal sınırlarda tespit edildi. Ultrasonografik muayenede içi sıvı dolu uterus ve sağ ovaryumda bir kitle tespit edildi. Kedi üzerinde komple cerrahi ensizyon yapıldı ve unilateral olgun ovaryan teratoma ve hidrometra teşhis edildi. Daha önceki kedi ovaryan teratoma olguları uterustaki rahatsızlığa yönelik bir değişiklikten bahsetmemişti. Bu olgu bir kedide ovaryan teratoma ile birlikte hidrometranında tespit edildiği ilk vaka olması sebebiyle rapor edilmeye uygun görüldü. Dolayısıyla uterus içerisinde sıvı birikimiyle birlikte ovaryumda kitlenin olduğu bu tarz olgularda biz ovariohisterektomiyi öneriyoruz.
