Atresia Ani along with Hamartoma in a Calf

A three day old male Holstein Friesian calf was presented with history of anorexia and not voiding meconium since birth. Clinical examination revealed imperforate ani with the presence of two pedunculated masses distal to it. Surgical correction was resorted to. A circular incision of the skin was made on the bulged part and the culde-sac was exteriorized and the patency was established. The two pedunculated masses were then excised after ligation at its base. Histopathological examination of the excised mass revealed hamartoma.
