Popis: A 9-month-old neutered female ferret (Mustela putorius furo) was presented for a recurring cystic abdominal mass. An ovariohysterectomy was performed 7 months earlier. Ultrasonography, tomodensitometry, and fine-needle puncture revealed right hydronephrosis, hydroureter, and a voluminous pararenal pseudocyst. Surgery consisted in unilateral nephrectomy, urinoma opening, and omentalisation. The right ureter was blind. That cystic lesion had certainly been induced by ligation and transection of the ureter during early ovariohysterectomy. Two years postoperatively, the ferret remained healthy and no sign of recurrence was observed. This is the first case of a pararenal pseudocyst surgical management in a ferret.
