Clinical management of equine ovarian neoplasms.
The rarity of equine ovarian neoplasms is attested to by the lack of reports in the literature. However, sixteen cases have been diagnosed at the Iowa State University Veterinary Hospital in the last 3 years and, of these, the granulosa-cell tumour was the most common. A study of the clinical and subsequent histories of these and other mares reveals some common findings as to age, breed, reproductive status, clinical signs, and post-surgical reproductive capability.
