Mucometra is accumulation of sterile mucoid fluid in the uterine lumen without any significant systemic clinical signs. A queen cat of two years age without any apparent clinical signs was brought to clinical complex for elective spaying. After ovario-hysterectomy, ovarian and uterine tissues were submitted for histopathology. Grossly, uterus was distended with fluid which was slightly cloudy and viscous. Ovary revealed multiple clear cystic structures on the surface. The microscopic examination of the uterine tissue revealed marked edema with few hyperplastic endometrial glands and ovary revealed cystic structures lined by layers of granulosa cells in the cortical region.
