The Adventures of a Vet at Home and Abroad

To answer the long asked question of what it this? It's a granulosal-thecal cell tumor of an ovary that was removed from a horse. I was able to assist in the surgery in which this diseased ovary was removed. The tumor secretes hormones that cause the mare to display masculine behavior, with the ovary removed, this behavior ceases once hormone levels decline.
