Repro pt 2 Flashcards
in female DSD, there is ____ chromosomal, gonadal, and phenotypic sex (X_ SRY- ovarian DSD)
normal
X
What are the 3 types of female DSD in broad terms?
parts of the female repro tract (paramesonephric origin):
1. fail to form (aplasia)
2. fail to fuse together
3. fail to fuse to the urogenital sinus
Persistent hymen:
1. what is it?
2. importance?
3. what does it do in the female repro tract?
- paramesonephric duct has failed to make a proper connection to the urogenital sinus
- little importance
- partially separates the vestibule from the vagina just cranial to the urethral opening
This is a bitch repro tract. What is the lesion? (arrow is pointing to it)
persistent hymen
Segmental aplasia of the paramesonephric duct:
1. affects what part of the duct?
2. result?
- any part
- aplasia of a part of the internal tubular female repro tract
This is the uterus of a pig. You did not do anything to the organ. What is the lesion and what is your diagnosis?
the right uterine horn is completely missing
segmental aplasia of the paramesonephric duct – the right uterine horn never formed
Uterus didelphys: what is it?
failure of the paramesonephric ducts to fuse, resulting in duplication of the cervix and uterine body
What is this lesion?
Uterus didelphys
Ovarian diseases impact ____ and alter ____ production, leading to changes in the estrus cycle or abnormal behaviour.
fertility
hormone
The structural arrangement of the ovary is similar in all species EXCEPT for in 2 ways. What are they?
- dogs have subsurface epithelial structures (SES)
- mares have a completely different looking ovary (kidney shaped, ovulation fossa, very large follicles)
Periovarian/Paraovarian cysts:
1. where are they?
2. common signalment?
3. what are they?
- external to the ovary
- mares (but can happen in any species)
- cystic remnants of the paramesonephric or mesonephric ducts
This is the ovary of a mare. What is the lesion?
Periovarian cyst/paraovarian cyst
Intraovarian cysts: name the 3 types we have to know and which species they occur in.
- Epithelial inclusion cysts (mares)
- cystic rete ovarii (dogs, cats, guinea pigs)
- cystic ovarian follicles or ovarian cysts (dairy cows and sows)
Epithelial inclusion cysts:
1. where location?
2. pathogenesis of how they impact fertility?
- located around ovulation fossa and can look like large follicles (but don’t appear/disappear)
- surface epithelium pinched off during ovulation and embedded in stroma –> accumulate fluid and cyst enlargement –> interfere with ovulation –> internality
This is a mare ovary. What part of the ovary is the WHITE arrow pointing to? What is the lesion?
ovulation fossa
epithelial inclusion cysts
Cystic rete ovarii:
1. what is the rete ovarii?
2. important?
- ovarian remnant of the regressed mesonephric tubules
- no, usually incidental, but the major ddx is cystic ovarian neoplasm
This is the ovary of a bitch. What is the lesion?
cystic rete ovarii
Cystic ovarian follicles/ovarian cysts:
1. how to differentiate form normal tertiary follicles?
2. in cows, having these is known as what?
- ovarian cysts are bigger, persist longer, and result in changes in the estrus cycle
- cystic ovarian disease (COD)
Cystic ovarian disease (COD) in cows:
1. what do you have to have to make a diagnosis?
2. clinical signs?
3. cause?
- > 2.5 cm and persist for > 10 days
- nymphomania, anestrus
- failure of the preovulatory LH surge
This is the ovary of a cow. What is the lesion?
Cystic ovarian follicles/ovarian cysts
cystic ovarian disesse (COD)
What is oophoritis? rare or common?
inflammation of the ovary
rare in dom. animals
Ovarian neoplasia:
1. primary or secondary usually?
2. what are the 3 main groups?
- primary
- germ cell neoplasms, sex cord stroma neoplasms, epithelial neoplasms
Teratoma:
1. what is this?
2. common vs rare, benign vs malignant
3. gross appearance?
- ovarian neoplasia: germ cell neoplasm
- rare, benign
- differentiation to at least 2 of 3 germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm) – contain hair, bone, cartilage, teeth, nervous tissue, fat, resp epithelium, etc
What the heck is this thing?!
Teratoma
Granulosa cell tumor:
1. what is it?
2. most common ovarian tumor of what species?
3. unilateral vs bilateral, malignant vs benign
4. is it hormonally active?
5. results in what 3 behaviour patterns in mares? what causes each behaviour?
- sex cord stromal neoplasm, ovarian tumor
- large animals (mares/cows)
- unilateral, benign
- yes
- nymphomania (estrogen-producing), stallion-like behaviour (testosterone-producing), anestrus (inhibin-producing)
what is the gross appearance of a granulosa cell tumor in a mare?
unilateral, large, smooth round mass. On section, solid and cystic areas with cysts containing red-brown flui d
looks like Swiss cheese (with the holes)
This is the ovary of a mare. What is the lesion?
granulosa cell tumor
Ovarian carcinomas:
1. common in what species?
2. where do they come from?
3. cause?
4. multifocal or one spot? unilateral or bilateral?
- dog
- subsurface epithelial structures
- unknown
- multifocal and bilateral
What is the gross appearance of ovarian carcinomas in dogs?
enlarged ovary with papillary projections producing a shaggy appearance (shag rug)
what is the behaviour of ovarian carcinomas?
seed the abdomen (transcoelomic spread, carcinomatosis)
