Canine tapeworm Taenia hydatigena larval stage is also called Cysticercustenuicollis (C. tenuicollis). This cystic stage was reported in domestic and wildruminants worldwide. It is one of the common parasites of small ruminants inIraq. The omenta, the mesenteries, and liver are the usual locations of C.tenuicollis. This article tends to describe a case report of the uncommon locationsof the T. hydatigenacysticerci in pregnant goat. In this case, large (7 cm length X5 cm width) C. tenuicollis cyst was found on the body surface of the 4 monthspregnant uterus of local goat as well as inside the fetal allantoic cavity (chorionallantoicmembrane). The cyst-like channels with a mass of fibrin anderythrocytes were the most characteristic histopathological lesion THAT observedon the uterine wall. However, slight degeneration changes seen on the fetus andthe C. tenuicollis vesicle located adjacent to the placentomes. In conclusion, thisstudy approved the deviant situation of C. tenuicollis cyst on fetus membranesand over the pregnant uterus surface. These locations explain the probability oflarval migrations into the fetal body during pregnancy.
