Abstract :This report describes a case of ectopic foetus and schistosoma reflexum encountered in a 3-year-old, 4 kg tabby cat brought to our clinic for routine neutering. Gingivitis and multiple intraabdominal masses were detected in the clinical examination of the cat. Leukocytosis and anemia were detected in the haemogram. Laparotomy was performed and ovariohysterectomy was performed to remove two ectopic fetuses covered with fibrous capsules beyond the ovaries. Schistosoma reflexum was detected in one of the ectopic foetuses. The cat received postoperative care for one week and recovered without any problems. In conclusion, it was observed that ectopic fetus cases in cats can be associated with schistosoma reflexum. These cases can be diagnosed using imaging methods, and surgical intervention can provide treatment.
