  • Title: Unilateral uterine torsion secondary to an inflammatory endometrial polyp in the bitch.
    Author: Chambers B, Laksito M, Long F, Yates G.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 2011 Oct; 89(10):380-4. PubMed ID: 21933164.
    Abstract:
    A 9-year-old bitch was presented because of lethargy and abdominal distension. Abdominal ultrasound revealed an enlarged, fluid-filled uterus and associated mass. Subsequent exploratory laparotomy revealed unilateral uterine torsion involving the mass. Recovery following ovariohysterectomy was uneventful and the histopathological diagnosis was of a benign endometrial inflammatory polyp. Reports of uterine torsion in the English-language literature are reviewed to identify factors associated with the incidence of uterine torsion. The aetiology of the cystic endometrial hyperplasia/pyometra complex and its possible role in the development of inflammatory polypoid lesions in the bitch is also discussed.
