Uterine tumours are rarely reported in cats. This case report describes two older queens with typical presentations consistent with pyometra. However, histopathology of the uteri diagnosed each case with concurrent uterine neoplasia (endometrial adenocarcinoma and poorly differentiated sarcoma). One cat survived long-term, while the other was suspected to have advanced metastatic disease and pulmonary metastasis on postoperative radiographs after developing respiratory distress. Diagnostic tests, including thoracic radiographs and abdominal ultrasound, should be considered when evaluating middle-aged to older queens suspected of pyometra to screen for evidence of neoplasia and to assess the extent of disease. Histopathological analysis of excised uterine tissue should be recommended to assess for uterine neoplasia in all cats with presumptive pyometra.

Most patients with advanced or recurrent uterine sarcoma experience disease progression and ultimately die. We present a case of uterine sarcoma with lung metastasis treated with systemic chemotherapy and with no evidence of disease for more than 5 years. A 77-year-old woman underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for carcinosarcoma of the uterus followed by external pelvic radiotherapy. Ten months later, the tumor recurred in the apex of the vagina and was treated with brachytherapy. After 6 months of remission, she presented with pulmonary metastasis. After four cycles of systemic chemotherapy with cisplatin and ifosfamide, the pulmonary nodules completely disappeared. Currently she is still in complete remission after more than 5 years, but unfortunately she has developed myelodysplastic syndrome. This is the first reported case in the literature of cured metastatic uterine carcinosarcoma to lungs, with long-term survival of 5 years.
