Özet

The purpose of the study was to evaluate cystic endometrial hyperplasia pyometra complex (CEH-P) by clinical, pathomorphological and immunohistological findings. The 35 uterine horns of bitches aged from 2 to 11 years and different breeds were studied. Clinically polyuria, polydipsia, vomiting, anorexia and fever were seen and in some bitches distention of abdomen was noticed, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Proteus spp. were isolated from uterine fluid, The uterine horns were dilated and their lumina contained moderate amounts of purulent exudate. Histopathologically, lesions were characterised by varying degrees of cystic changes of the glands and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Immunohistochemically, estrogen and progesteron receptor positive areas were determined.
