An ovarian neoplasm measuring 10 by 8 by 6 cm was surgically removed from a 14-year-old Appaloosa mare. For 2 years prior to surgery, the mare had manifested marked behavioral changes, becoming aggressive toward other broodmares. Histologically, the tumor was found to be an arrhenoblastoma. Preoperative endocrinologic findings (high serum testosterone and low serum estradiol concentrations) supported the diagnosis.
从一匹14岁的阿帕卢萨母马身上手术切除了一个大小为10×8×6厘米的卵巢肿瘤。在手术前的两年里,这匹母马表现出明显的行为变化,对其他繁殖母马变得具有攻击性。组织学检查发现该肿瘤为睾丸母细胞瘤。术前内分泌学检查结果(高血清睾酮和低血清雌二醇浓度)支持了这一诊断。
