Abstract

An eight-year-old German shepherd crossbreed clinically healthy bitch was ovariohysterectomized on the owner's request. The ovariohysterectomy operation was performed on the left flank area, under general anaesthesia. In both uterine horns, diffuse 0.1-3 cm in length cystic structures filled with serous fluid were detected during macroscopic examination. Histopathological examination of the uterus revealed that the pathological tissue was diffuse cystic lymphangiectasia.
