چکیده

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical findings, histopathological lesions of the uterus and ovaries and emphasizes the role of ovariohysterectomy in the population of ovariohysterectomy cats in Ahvaz region between October and February 1401. Fifty-four cats, referred to the Veterinary Hospital, underwent ovariohysterectomy surgery. The Mean±SD age of the cats was 10.94±0.74 months. In the macroscopic examination of the samples, except for three cases that were pregnant, all the other cases had normal structure and were not seen any specific clinical signs.

Histopathological findings showed that one case had endometrial cystic hyperplasia, one case granulosa cell tumor, one case uterine cyst and bleeding in the ovary, another case hyperemia and bleeding in the uterine and ovary; and the last case was affected to hemosiderosis in uterus. In cat with endometrial cystic hyperplasia, endometrial cells were proliferated and cysts located in the endometrial mucosa; also, several large follicles and corpora lutea were seen inside the ovary, which classified as first-degree cystic hyperplasia according to the Dow classification. In the microscopic evaluation of the sample with granulosa cell tumor, a mass of proliferated cells was observed in the ovarian tissue. The mentioned cells were placed together in the form of a ladder. These cells had a large nucleus with distinct nucleoli. The present study showed that ovariohysterectomy can play an important role to diagnose pathological lesions of the uterus and ovaries in cats; the importance of diagnosis, is much greater, especially in the cases of tumors.
