Histological observations of canine cystic endometrial hyperplasia induced by intrauterine scratching.

Abstract
Of eight mongrel bitches, the antimesometrial side of the nonpregnant left horn of the uterus at the pregnant or nonpregnant luteal phase was scratched with a Kirschner''s wire. Cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) was induced in seven of the eight bitches (87.5%). No difference in the incidence of CEH in the left horn was seen between the pregnant and the nonpregnant groups. Histological examinations showed CEH with a dilation of the basal glands, resembling "Swiss cheese endometrium".
