Sažetak
Conjoined twinning has been reported in most domestic animal species. It occurs extremely rarely in horses,
occasionally in dogs and cats and more commonly in cattle than in the other ruminants. A pregnant ewe was
referred to the Veterinary Clinic of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman for dystocia, and a male dicephalic
lamb was delivered, which survived for 8 hours. It was a co-twin to another male lamb which was clinically
normal. After macroscopic and C.T. examination the lamb was carefully dissected and histopathologic slices
from the testis, lymph nodes, spleen, liver, kidneys, lung, fore stomachs and abomasum were taken, prepared
routinely and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. In this study the anomalies which were seen can be categorized
to complete and incomplete duplication, lack of fusion and axial deviation.
