title: Hypertrophic osteopathy and dysgerminoma in a mare.
abstract: A case of hypertrophic osteopathy is described in a mare with a vague history of abdominal discomfort over the preceding 12 months. Bony swellings were obvious in the pastern area of both forelegs. There was a dysgerminoma of the left ovary that had metastasised to several abdominal lymph nodes and had infiltrated the posterior vena cava. There was no gross thoracic involvement although there was histologic evidence of tumour metastasis in pulmonary arterioles.
