Most common ovarian diseases appear to be cystic or ovarian tumours. These conditions may affect health, fertility or even the life of the animal. Literature related to ovarian cysts and neoplasia in dogs was assessed to summarize studies and case series on ovarian cysts and primary ovarian tumours in regard to epidemiologic, clinical and fertility aspects. Two research papers on histopathological examination of ovarian cysts could be identified. Seven research papers on ovarian tumours were also assessed, showing inconsistent results on the frequency of occurrence of different types of neoplasia. This might be due to different definitions of diseases and different diagnostic procedures. In conclusion, scarce research has been performed on ovarian diseases in the bitch in the last decades. Many publications are based on case reports. Most quality criteria of study methodology like blinding, randomization, sensitivity and specificity of test methods are not considered in papers on ovarian diseases. In the future, a multicentre data collection of cases could help to gather more data on the incidence, clinical relevance, treatment options and prognosis of ovarian diseases.
最常见的卵巢疾病似乎是卵巢囊肿或卵巢肿瘤。这些病症可能会影响动物的健康、生育能力甚至生命。对与犬类卵巢囊肿和肿瘤形成相关的文献进行了评估，以总结有关卵巢囊肿和原发性卵巢肿瘤在流行病学、临床和生育方面的研究及病例系列。可以找到两篇关于卵巢囊肿组织病理学检查的研究论文。还评估了七篇关于卵巢肿瘤的研究论文，结果显示不同类型肿瘤形成的发生率存在不一致。这可能是由于疾病定义不同以及诊断程序不同所致。总之，在过去几十年中，针对母犬卵巢疾病的研究很少。许多出版物基于病例报告。关于卵巢疾病的论文中未考虑研究方法的大多数质量标准，如盲法、随机化、检测方法的敏感性和特异性。未来，多中心病例数据收集有助于收集更多关于卵巢疾病的发病率、临床相关性、治疗选择和预后的数据。
