ABSTRACT
Javdani M, Nikousefat
Z, Khan RU, Hashemnia M., Uterine leiomyoma in a
golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus),
Onl J Vet Res., 18(1): 1-6, 2014. A
14-month-old female golden hamster displayed a large intramural,
well-circumscribed abdominal mass. Plain radiography showed a ground glassy
appearance into the abdominal cavity. For removing the mass, laparatomy and ovariohystrectomy
of the hamster was performed under local anesthesia
and the mass was evaluated for histopathology and immunocytochemistry with appropriate
methods. The histopathological findings were similar to those for leiomyomas
described in other species. Immunohistochemical
examination demonstrated positivity of neoplastic cells for α-smooth
muscle actin and desmin. This result revealed the tumor to be of smooth muscle origin and is the first report
of a uterine leiomyoma in a domestic golden hamster.
Key words: Golden hamster, histological and immunohistochemical study, uterine leiomyoma
