repro & perineal sx Flashcards
what are the 3 types of ovarian neoplasia in dogs? which one is the most common?
- sex cord stromal tumor (granulosa cell tumor = most common)
- epithelial cell tumor (adenoma/adenocarcinoma)
- germ cell tumors
what is the typical signalment and prognosis for ovarian neoplasia in dogs?
mid to older age, good prognosis when you remove the ovary.
You have a dog with an ovarian tumor. why is it important to remove it?
can seed peritoneum
what are the C/S of a granulosa cell tumor in a dog?
produce E2, P4, or both
- estrus or proestrus, cystic endometrial hyperplasia, pyometra
what are the 2 types of ovarian neoplasia in cats? what is the most common?
- sex cord stroma tumor (granulosa cell tumor = most common, 50% are malignant)
- germ cell tumor (dysgerminomas)
A 5yo shepherd mix presents to your clinic. She was spayed before the owners got her as a rescue, and for the past 6 months, her mammary glands have been developing. On PE, you note enlargement of the mammary glands and vulvar swelling. What is your top differential?
ovarian tumor, most likely a granulosa cell tumor (producing E2)
What is ovarian remnant syndrome?
signs of estrus/heat due to elevated E2 levels after being spayed, due to failing to remove all ovarian tissue
how do you diagnose ovarian remnant syndrome?
AMH (anti-mullerian hormone) and P4 levels
You have a dog with dystocia. Describe (generally) the procedure to get the puppies out and save the mom.
- huge incision on ventral midline (between xiphoid and umbilicus to pubis pretty much)
- get puppies outta there (im not going into detail about this lol)
- if not OHE: close uterus in 2 layers (simple continuous, then inverting overtop. don’t go through endometrium) then give OXYTOCIN!!! (helps involute/contract)
- if OHE: after all puppies out, this is the preference
Pyometra is usually caused by _____ (organism). What is the treatment?
E. coli
OHE
what is the difference b/t open and closed pyometra?
cervix open or closed.
open is technically better (pus comes out), but both are life threatening situations
what is important to know about pyometra surgery?
- do it RIGHT AWAY AT DIAGNOSIS!! they will get septic and die quickly
- be gentle!!
- remove entire uterine body (ligatures will be in cervix)
uterine neoplasia: common or rare?
- what is most common in dogs?
- what is most common in cats?
rare!
dogs: leiomyomas
cats: adenocarcinomas
what are the C/S and signalment typical for hooded vulvas/recessed vulvas?
large to medium breed dogs
perivulvular dermatitis, recurrent UTIs
you can see it lmaooooo but the above C/S are when you need to treat I guess
how do you treat hooded/recessed vulvas?
vulvoplasty or episoplasty
goal of episoplasty is to lift and exposure vulva to alter local tissue environment (lower moister and lower bacteria)
what causes vaginal edema/hyperplasia? what is the treatment?
late proestrus and estrus (hormones)
OHE and/or resection of tissue
how do you tell the difference b/t vaginal prolapse and vaginal hyperplasia/edema?
hyperplasia is more of a stalk coming from deeper. can feel a mass with a base
prolapse looks like a donut. can feel circumferential area protruding
how do you treat vaginal prolapse?
manual reduction and OHE or hysteropexy
when do you diagnose cryptorchidism? why?
after 6 mo
there is variation in testicular descent (breed, individual, etc) but after 6 mo, they should all be descended
what are the 3 types of testicular neoplasia? what is the typical signalment?
older dogs (mean age = 10 years), cryptorchidism increases incidence by 10%
Leydig cell (interstitial cell), Sertoli cell, Seminoma
testicular neoplasia is ___ (common/rare) in cats.
rare
what are the C/S of a Sertoli cell tumor in a dog?
feminization syndrome… THEY PRODUCE ESTROGEN!!!!
bilaterally symmetrical alopecia, gynecomastia (man boobs), anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia (BM suppression)
estrogen causes what in the bones?
bone marrow suppression
how do you treat Sertoli cell tumors in dogs?
orchiectomy
unless mets, then also medical mgmt
what are the C/S of a Leydig cell tumor in a dog?
they can produce testosterone
concurrent perineal hernias, perianal adenomas/adenocarcinomas (all bc of higher testosterone)
