Abstract

The aim of work was to describe a remaining uterine mesonephric duct cyst in female Pinscher
dog, with 8 years old. The main complaint of the owner was no heat at least 18 months. Clinical
examination revealed presence of cysts in all teats, confirmed by cytopathologic exam.
Haemogram, serum biochemical exams, urinalysis, radiographs of the thorax and abdominal
ultrasound were performed and no changes were observed. During the ovaryhysterectomy was
observed endometrial hyperplasia and the histopathologic diagnosis was remaining uterine
mesonephric duct cyst associated with discrete endometrial hyperplasia. Was concluded that
adequate histopathologycal identification of the uterine mesonephric duct cyst is crucial so do
not mistake with neoplasia.
