Cystic Endometrial Hyperplasia in Algerian Goats and Ewes

Abstract

Histopathological examination was performed on ten uterine samples of goats and ewes collected from Tiaret abattoir. Cystic endometrial hyperplasia was detected in two cases was associated to granulosa cell tumour in ewe and to cystic ovarian degeneration in goat. Microscopically, an increase of the number and the size of the endometrial glands and cellular infiltration were observed.
Cystic endometrial hyperplasia can lead to permanent infertility in domestic animals by preventing implantation or fertilization.
