Correlation between abnormal ovarian structures and uterine histopathological alterations in she-donkeys

Abstract

In this study, which extended from May 2014 to December 2015, histopathologic techniques made on both ovaries and uteri of 83 slaughtered she-donkeys. Histopathologically, variable ovarian abnormalities were recorded including follicular cyst, paraovarian cyst, granulosa cell tumor, cavernous hemangioma, oophoritis and ovarian hematoma. In correlation to these abnormalities, the uterine examination revealed variable degrees and types of pathological alterations; some of which were relied on these ovarian abnormalities and others were not.
