Feline reproduction has not received the quantity of investigation and a spotlight that has been directed at canine reproduction. The result is that fewer data is available both for description of normal reproduction and for management of common problems. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of ultrasonography and histopathological examination as tools for diagnosis of ovarian affections in Persian queens. During the period from (August 2016 to October 2017), 35 queens of different ages (11 months up to 10 years) were examined clinically and by ultrasonography for ovarian lesions then ovariectomy or ovariohysterectomy was performed in diseases queens. Ultrasonographical examination revealed fluid filled cysts with variable wall thickness and size.
