Incidence and Pathomorphology of Uterine Tumours in the Cow

Abstract: Summary A statistical and pathological study on uterine tumours during the examination of 1489 female bovines at slaughter was carried out. A 0.4% (n = 6) incidence of uterine neoplasms, being 50% adenocarcinomas and the other 50% leiomyomas, was diagnosed. With regard to age groups, tumours were more frequent in the 11–15‐year‐old group. Two animals affected by adenocarcinoma were not fertile and they had ovarian metastasis that, to the authors' knowledge, has been cited as extremely rare in cows. An ultrastr… Show more

“…1,9,13,22,35,36 Leiomyomas have been reported in five lions and a black leopard, 3,5,22 but no comprehensive survey of leiomyomas in zoo felids has been conducted. Uterine leiomyosarcomas are rare in all species, but seem to be more common in cats than in other species.…”

“…115 Pathomorphological examination of the goat three months after surgery revealed the presence of an adenocarcinoma originating from the uterine stump. Uterine adenocarcinoma is a neoplasia with a higher frequency in cattle than in other domestic animals (8,13,16). It is assumed to originate from deep uterine glands (6).…”

“…In another study by Anderson and Davis (1958) adenocarcinomas were found to show a higher incidence. In a more recent study Garcias-Iglesias (1995) recorded an incidence of uterine tumours to be 0.4% with 50% being adenocarcinomas and 50% leiomyomas. The aetiology of tumours is a subject of study and increased hormonal levels is one assorted reason (Yamate et al, 1998;Liehr, 2001) besides chronic irritation, heredity and carcinogens (Boyd, 1956).…”
