background: ovarian cysts are among the diseases which cause reproductive failure and economic losses in dairy herds. high yelding dairy cattles are suseptable to reproductive failure caused by ovarian cysts, as a result of their exposure to stressful coditions during lactation. objectives: this study aimed to monitor metabolic profile tests in dairy cows with ovarian cysts in comparison with c...

This case report describes a 7-year-old male cocker spaniel dog with multiple perianal infundibular follicular cysts. Clinically the dog had moderate anal sacculitis, peri-anal pruritus causing it to 'scoot' and lick the area. On examination of the perianal area, there were over 100 firm, well circumscribed papules, ranged from 0.2 to 0.5 cm in diameter with a central pore, and were found in th...

Malignant tumors arising from follicular cysts are rare. Herein, we report of a 62-year-old Japanese woman with a slowly growing tumor, 22 × 20 mm in size, located on her nose for 2 years. Histopathological examination of the surgically excised tumor showed that the tumor cells were basaloid and formed peripheral palisading patterns. The tumor contained a cystic structure in its center, and the...

cows 2 weeks after parturition and in diestrous and proestrous heifers. Serum LH concentrations increased after LH-RH treatment and the greatest response was observed in cows with ovarian follicular cysts. Serum progesterone concentrations were increased at 6 hours after LH-RH in animals which had functional luteal tissue in the ovaries but serum estradiol and estrone were unchanged. Ovarian fo...

Ovarian follicular cysts are anovulatory follicular structures that lead to infertility. Hormones play key roles in the formation and persistence of cysts. Inhibins are heterodimeric gonadal glycoprotein hormones that belong to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily. These hormones suppress the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone. In this report, partial fragment of inhibin-α (INHA)...

OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic value of aspiration cytology in individual cystic lesions of the ovary. STUDY DESIGN During a 42-month period, 235 cystic ovarian lesions were investigated by fine needle aspiration with cytologic examination (FNA). RESULTS Almost 56% (131/235) of the aspirates were devoid of diagnostic cells. The 104 diagnostic aspirates comprised 49 follicular cysts, 4 e...

Follicular cysts are the most critical reproductive disorder in dairy cows and disturb normal ovarian cycle, resulting in the prolonged interval from calving to conception. Therefore, this condition causes significant economic losses to the dairy industry. Two direct causal factors of cyst are suggested in this review; the disorder of ovulation and the delay of regression. The disorder of ovula...

Two experiments were conducted to determine if adrenal secretion of steroids differed between cows that formed ovarian follicular cysts and normal cycling cows. In experiment 1, lactating Jersey and Holstein cows were diagnosed as having ovarian follicular cysts (follicle diameter >or=20 mm) by rectal palpation. Following diagnosis, ovaries were examined by transrectal ultrasonography three tim...
