Residual right ovarian remnant with cystic uterus. Resection of the right ovarian remnant and uterine base is recommended.
Uterine stump in this patient, best visualized in video 1, revealed a cystic structure at the uterine base with fluid filled and irregular tissue consistent with stump pyometra or entrapped vessel. Resection to the cervix is recommended. The cystic portion of the residual uterine stump measured approximately 1 cm with minor thickened uterine tissue noted cranial to the cystic structure. This may be a simple suture reaction; however, resection would be recommended. The region of the right ovary revealed a cystic structure measuring 1.5 cm caudal to the right kidney consistent with ovarian remnant.
