Abstract
Not all genital disease in cattle, whether congenital or acquired, can be diagnosed by the usual clinical methods. Studies on slaughterhouse materials can be very useful in detecting certain diseases that may be missed by the practicing veterinarian. The examination of 228 bovine reproductive tracts at the slaughterhouse revealed 7 .8% were abnormal on gross examination. In another study of 500 specimens to determine the incidence of ovarian diseases, 2.8% and 1 % of the reproductive tracts exhibited ovarian cysts and paraovarian cysts, respectively. Congenital abnormalities such as Bartholin gland cyst in a cow have also been associated with ovarian cysts of cows. In our two previous surveys, we have not observed multiple abnormalities in the reproductive tracts of cows.
 The objective of this report is to provide macroscopic description of a Gartner's duct cyst, ovarian cyst, paraovarian cyst and a parametrial abscess as well as hemorrhagic cystitis in the reproductive tract of a cow slaughtered at Irbid slaughterhouse. The macroscopic appearance and histopathologic lesion of a perimetrial mass are also described.
