Abstract
Extrauterine pregnancy (EUP) is caused by the implantation of the fetus outside the uterus. In this study, during a routine check-up of a 3-year-old non spayed female Persian cat, a mass on the abdomen was found on palpation, which later was diagnosed as an abdominal tumor. Clinical signs presented are pollakiuria and no lethargic. The radiographic examination revealed a well-defined circular mass with mineral opacity in the caudal abdomen. Ultrasound examination of this abdominal mass illustrated the presence of mummified fetus with an irregular arrangement of bones. Moreover, there was no heart movement, the fetal bones were hyperechoic. An exploratory laparotomy was performed for mass collection, and excised mass was dense. Histopathology investigation using HE staining results in bone, tongue, lung and pigmented skin. The fetal age was around 60 days old.
