A functional corpus luteum was found in the ovary contralateral to the ovary with a granulosa cell tumor in a 24-year-old Standardbred mare. The mare was ovariectomized because she was to be used as a jump mare for collection of semen from stallions. The blood concentration of progesterone was 2.2 ng/ml, and the luteal tissue progesterone concentration was 6.3 micrograms/mg. Atrophy of the contralateral ovary is one of the major signs used in diagnosis of granulosa cell tumor; however, our findings indicate that the ovary contralateral to a granulosa cell tumor is not invariably nonfunctional.
在一匹24岁的标准赛马中，在患有颗粒细胞瘤的卵巢对侧卵巢中发现了一个功能性黄体。这匹母马因将用作从种马采集精液的跳跃用母马而接受了卵巢切除手术。孕酮的血液浓度为2.2纳克/毫升，黄体组织孕酮浓度为6.3微克/毫克。对侧卵巢萎缩是用于诊断颗粒细胞瘤的主要体征之一；然而，我们的研究结果表明，颗粒细胞瘤对侧的卵巢并非总是无功能的。
