Journal: | Journal of Comparative Pathology | Abstract: | A uterine prolapse associated with a leiomyoma (fibroid) was observed in a live-stranded Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis). A 7 cm segment of the reproductive tract including the cervix, uterine neck and caudal uterine body had intussuscepted and prolapsed into the cranial vaginal vault. In the leading edge of the intussuscepted/prolapsed uterine wall was a 6 × 3 × 3.5 cm leiomyoma expanding the myometrium. The leiomyoma and prolapse were associated with necrotizing exposure endometritis. This is the first report of a uterine prolapse associated with a leiomyoma in a cetacean. This lesion was believed to be the underlying cause of the live stranding. | URI: | https://accedacris.ulpgc.es/handle/10553/45726 | ISSN: | 0021-9975 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jcpa.2015.04.004 | Source: | Journal of Comparative Pathology [ISSN 0021-9975], v. 153 (1), p. 58-63 |
