In another study with 76 mares, 44.7% had uterine cysts, with 2 mares < 7 years of age, 12 were from 7 - 14 years, and 20 were > 14 years.5 Number of cysts was not different between left versus right horns, but frequency of cysts was higher in area of vesicle implantation (left horn middle, right horn middle, uterine body middle, cornual- body junction, left horn posterior, right horn posterior, and anterior uterine body) compared to the extremities (left horn anterior, right horn anterior, and posterior uterine body).5,7 Two types of uterine cysts have been described, namely glandular and lymphatic.2,3,5 Glandular cysts, located in the lamina propria, are generally small, ranging from only a few millimeters up to 1 cm in diameter.5,6 These glandular cysts develop from distention of endometrial glands due to chronic endometrial changes and more specifically periglandular fibrosis.1,4-6 Glandular distention then occurs from the strangulating effect of the periglandular fibrosis on endometrial glands and decreased uterine myometrial tone resulting in decreased flow of secretions.6 Glandular cysts have been reported as a normal finding during pregnancy.5,6 The significance of glandular cysts in cases of infertility or subfertility is yet to be defined.	cache/ct-11183.pdf	txt/ct-11183.txt
