The Authors describe chronic vaginitis of bovines in intensive breeding. All of the 78 subjects examined presented vaginitis, accompanied by fibrinous hydrocele. On the spermatic cord and the tail of epididymis, initial lesions consisted of granulomas and fibrinous bridges between vaginalis propria of testicle and of epididymis. Subsequently appeared adherence and synechiae, which join the deferens and epididymis body to didymis, and thickening of albuginea. Synechiae can develop between peritesticular vaginalis propria and communis. Histopathological findings: peritoneal-like papillary structures with metaplastic mesothelial cells; diffuse lympho-plasmacellular infiltration with eosinophils and mast cells; intense capillary angiogenesis. The epididymal lesions are: diffuse mononuclear infiltration; periarteritis nodosa; papillary proliferations of endothelium; endothelial degeneration; tubular ectasia and stenosis; intraepithelial cyst. Noticeable within testis: periarteritis nodosa; fibrosis of albuginea; spermatocytes vacuolisation; multinucleate spermatids; epithelial shedding. The Authors pointed out: the serological and bacteriological testings furnished inconclusive results; only pathological finding always present is a large infestation of cremasteric muscle with Sarcocystis, to which is attributed the etiopathogenesis of flogosis, that is chronic from the beginning. The Authors propose the terminology of "Chronic peritesticular and periepididymal vaginitis" or "Chronic Periorchitis and periepididymitis".

Infestation by Fasciola hepatica is being reported with increasing frequency. During a five year period the authors have studied 25 cases of disease caused by F. hepatica, all of them diagnosed by finding eggs of the parasite in the feces or the duodenal fluid. In two cases the ectopic location of th parasite gave rise to unusual clinical manifestations. The first case presented during the course of hepatic fascioliasis both subcutaneous and epididymis locations, with an histologic picture similar to that of the hepatic lesions. The involvement of the epididymis, not previously cited in the literature, gave rise to a hydrocele. The second case presented with signs of central nervous system involvement and a high eosinophil count in the cerebrospinal fluid. Dehydroemetine was effective in all patients, including the unusual cases.

Hydatid disease, the parasitic infestation caused by the cestode, echinococcus granulosus involves mainly the liver and the lungs though no organ is immune. Genito urinary involvement has been found mainly in the kidneys and rarely in other structures such as, bladder and epididymis. Isolated retrovesical location of the hydatid cyst is a very rare condition whose manifestations appears after a long course of the disease and are due to compression of bladder, causing the bladder out flow obstruction. Such rare case of bladder out flow obstruction is presented.
