  • Title: Septic metritis secondary to torsion of a pedunculated uterine fibroleiomyoma in a filly.
    Author: Broome TA, Allen D, Baxter GM, Pugh DG, Mahaffey E.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1992 Jun 01; 200(11):1685-8. PubMed ID: 1624346.
    Abstract:
    A 2-year-old Arabian filly was referred for evaluation of a serosanguineous vaginal discharge. Palpation per rectum revealed a large, fluid-filled uterus and a uterine mass. The filly developed septic metritis and secondary laminitis as a result of torsion and necrosis of a pedunculated uterine mass. Ovariohysterectomy was performed. The entire cervix was removed with the uterus. Gross examination of the excised uterus revealed 3 intraluminal masses. Histologic evaluation identified the tumors as fibroleiomyoma. The filly recovered completely, and there was no recurrence of the tumor.
