Cervical hyperplasia caused a mare's cervix to prolapse. Postmortem analysis confirmed the mass originated from the cervical wall, presenting normal histologic features.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Equine Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Reproductive organ prolapse is a rare but serious condition in mares.
  • Differential diagnoses for vulvar masses in mares are extensive.

Observation:

  • A case of cervical hyperplasia resulting in prolapse through the vulvar lips in a mare was documented.
  • The prolapsed mass was externally visible and originated from the cervical wall.

Findings:

  • Histologic examination of the prolapsed mass revealed features consistent with normal cervical tissue.
  • The mass's origin from the cervical wall was confirmed through postmortem examination.

Implications:

  • Cervical hyperplasia should be included in the differential diagnosis for mares presenting with prolapsed internal genitalia.
