A Rare Case of Multicentric Liposarcoma and Associated Reproductive Aberrations in a Nonpregnant Holstein-Friesian Crossbred Cow

Abstract EN

A five-and-a-half-year-old Holstein-Friesian crossbred cow was repeatedly treated for termination of overgestation, but without any success.

On laparotomy, the site indicating fetal-like ballottement on transrectal palpation was occupied by three to four separate caseous and lobulated masses with adhered uterine horns in the omentum.

Separation of the utero-omental adhesions retrieved normal-sized uterine horns into pelvic cavity.

The right ovary was cystic.

Ultrasonography detected another growth in the ventral abdominal musculature.

Histopathologically, the omental growths suggested a pleomorphic type of liposarcoma.

Presence of omental and muscular liposarcoma along with deep uterine-omental adhesions and a cystic ovary makes this paper a unique addition to the literature.
