Abstract

Ovarian tumors in cows are uncommon and most are granulosa cell tumors. Bovine ovarian fibromas are extremely rare and tend to occur in older animals. This paper reports the case of a large ovarian mass found in a primiparous dairy cow which had shown no sign of cycling after calving. The mass continued to increase in size as detected during six-month serial observations by ultrasonography. An ovariectomy was subsequently performed and the growth was diagnosed as an ovarian fibroma by gross and microscopic examination. This case is the first report of an ovarian fibroma observed in a living dairy cow.

소에서의 난소종양은 흔치 않으며 발견되는 대부분의 난소종양은 과립막세포종양이다. 소의 난소섬유종은 매우 드물며 노령의 동물에서 발병하는 경향이 있다. 본 증례에서는 분만 후 발정정후를 나타내지 않은 초산 젖소에서 발견된 큰 난소종괴를 연속적으로 관찰한 결과이다. 종괴를 초음파로 6개월 동안 연속적으로 관찰한 결과 크기가 지속적으로 증가하였다. 난소절제술을 시행하여 육안검사 및 조직학적 검사소견으로 난소섬유종으로 진단하였다. 본 증례는 살아있는 젖소에서 연속적인 관찰과 진단을 내린 난소섬유종의 첫 사례이다.
