Feline extrauterine pregnancy with fetal mummification: A case report

A four-year-old female Persian cat was presented to the Department of Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Veterinary College, Hebbal, Bengaluru, with a history of anestrus persisting for three years. Clinical examination revealed free-floating, hard masses in the abdominal region, accompanied by pollakiuria, though the cat maintained a normal appetite. Radiographic imaging identified two circular mineral-dense structures in the caudal abdomen, while trans abdominal ultrasonography confirmed the presence of mummified fetuses characterized by disorganized bone architecture, hyperechoic fetal masses, and absence of cardiac activity. These findings were conclusively verified through exploratory laparotomy.

Abstract

A four-year-old female Persian cat was presented to the Department of Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Veterinary College, Hebbal, Bengaluru, with a history of anestrus persisting for three years. Clinical examination revealed free-floating, hard masses in the abdominal region, accompanied by pollakiuria, though the cat maintained a normal appetite. Radiographic imaging identified two circular mineral-dense structures in the caudal abdomen, while trans abdominal ultrasonography confirmed the presence of mummified fetuses characterized by disorganized bone architecture, hyperechoic fetal masses, and absence of cardiac activity. These findings were conclusively verified through exploratory laparotomy.
