Spontaneous perforated pyometra with an intrauterine device in menopause: a case report. (1/16)

Spontaneous perforation of the uterus is rare and only several cases have been reported in the English medical literature. Most of the patients had gynecological malignancy and almost all were associated with cervical occlusion. We report a case of diffuse peritonitis resulting from spontaneously perforated pyometra with an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted for more than two decades. This case differs from others in that the cervical canal was not occluded. In the absence of other possible causes of uterine perforation, the etiology in this case is mostly likely hemorrhagic necrosis related to the long-term IUD.  (+info)

Interstrain differences in the development of pyometra after estrogen treatment of rats. (4/16)

This case report describes the unanticipated development of pyometra in Brown Norway rats after treatment with estrogen. Sprague Dawley and Brown Norway rats were ovariectomized and randomly assigned to treatment groups (subcutaneous implantation of either a capsule containing 20 mg 17beta-estradiol or an empty capsule, as a control). After irradiation of only the right eye, the rats were followed for several months in an attempt to determine the effects of estrogen on radiation cataractogenesis and investigate potential strain differences in this phenomenon. However, all Brown Norway rats that received estradiol treatment developed pyometra, whereas none the Sprague Dawley or control Brown Norway rats did. This case demonstrates the potential adverse effects of exogenous estrogen therapy, which are strain-specific in the rat. Caution should be taken when designing estrogen-related experiments involving Brown Norway rats and other potentially sensitive strains.  (+info)

Pyometra and complete vaginal adhesion in a miniature horse. (5/16)

A 4-year-old miniature horse experienced intermittent episodes of pyrexia, lethargy, and purulent vaginal discharge following dsytocia. Vaginal endoscopy and transrectal ultrasonography revealed a blind-ending vaginal cavity and distended uterus. Surgical treatment was declined and the mare was euthanized. Post-mortem examination confirmed the diagnosis of pyometra and vaginal adhesions.  (+info)

Uterine endometrial polyp with severe hemorrhage and cystic endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra complex in a dog. (6/16)

The current report describes an unusual presentation of uterine endometrial polyp with severe hemorrhage and cystic endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra complex in a 9.5-year-old female Doberman Pinscher. The dog presented with a 2-day history of bloody discharge from the vulva and an enlarged abdomen. The postmortem examination revealed a markedly distended right uterine horn with a large pedunculated mass (17 cm x 9 cm x 4 cm) and blood. Based on the histological findings, the diagnosis of uterine endometrial polyp was made.  (+info)
