A case of uterine cholesterol granuloma in a 12-year old mixed breed cat is reported. The lesions were found in the endometrium of the left uterine horn as scattered, raised nodules or foci. Histologically, mononuclear cell infiltrates were seen to surround cholesterol crystals, in both the endometrium and the smooth muscle layer, reaching the serosa. The findings support the role of haemorrhage in promoting chronic inflammatory reactions around interstitial cholesterol ester precipitates. (C) 1999 Harcourt Publishers Ltd.

This study was undertaken to determine the flora in the endometrial cavity of two groups of puerperal patients: 47 afebrile control subjects and 27 with endometritis. A transcervical culturing technique designed to avoid cervical contamination and to preserve aerobes, anaerobes, and mycoplasma was employed, and bacterial colony counts were reported semiquantitatively. No difference was found in the flora of these two groups. Furthermore, the most common pathogenic organisms (in decreasing order of frequency) were peptostreptococci, peptococci, Bacteroides sp., γ-streptococci, enterococci, β-streptococci, α-streptococci, and E. coli.

During a 14-year period (1959-1972), 3,600 endometrial suction biopsies were performed in the office for specific indications in selected patients. Three hundred seventy-seven biopsies (10.5%) revealed abnormal findings. Of these, 233 showed endometritis, 96 associated with necrotic decidual or placental tissue, or both; one with tuberculosis, and 136 with no specific causative agent. In 84 biopsies endometrial hyperplasia was present; 34 contained polyps from the cervix or endometrium. Eighteen malignancies were diagnosed, four of which originated in the cervix and the remainder in the endometrium. Used judiciously, the procedure is per,aps the most reliable means of evaluating the uterine cavity short of a formal dilatation and curettage..
