The present case report described a rare abnormality of uterus unicornis with pyometra. A 12 years old, unspayed Pekingese bitch was referred with a vaginal discharge. Pyometra was diagnosed based on anamnesis, clinical and ultrasonographic examination. An ovariohysterectomy was performed under inhalation anesthesia (1.5%-3% isoflurane). The pus-filled right uterine horn was exteriorized. Unexpectedly, the left uterine horn was absent and appeared only as a serosa membrane. The left ovary was smaller than the right one. Histopathological examination of reproductive organs revealed unilateral cornual agenesis in the left uterine horn and cystic endometrial hyperplasia, and pyometra in the right uterine horn.
As in this case, uterus unicornis is accidentally diagnosed during ovariohysterectomy performed routine spaying or surgical approach to reproductive disease.
