Abstract

A 10-year-old Paint horse was presented with gradual changes in behavior, characterized as stallion-like including aggressiveness towards people and other horse. The abnormal right ovary was detected via transrectal ultrasonography and rectal palpation. A complete blood count and biochemical panel values were within reference ranges. The hormone analysis revealed increased testosterone 46.00 pg/mL and inhibin 0.856 ng/mL, and progesterone concentration consistent with absence of luteal tissue 1.2 ng/mL more than normal values. The purpose of the study reported was to describe a ovariectomy of enlarged ovary by using the diagonal paramedian approach. This method is useful to minimize surgical exposure and hemorrhage. This ovary was confirmed fibroma by histological examination post operation. Behavior problems and the hormone values were alleviated after surgery, and clinical signs of complication were not showed.

10살의 페인트종의 말이 수컷과 비슷하게 사람과 다른 말들에게 공격적인 양상을 점차적으로 보였다. 직장검사와 초음파 검사를 통하여 오른쪽 난소의 이상을 발견하였다. 혈액치와 혈액화학치는 정상이었으나, 테스토스테론(46.00 pg/mL), 인히빈(0.856 ng/mL,), 프로게스테론(1.2 ng/mL)은 정상수치보다 증가하였다. 비대해진 난소는 diagonal paramedian approach법으로 제거하였다. 이 방법은 수술부위를 적게 절개할 수 있으며, 출혈을 최소화할 수 있다. 수술 후 합병증 없이 행동적 이상을 보이지 않았으며, 호르몬 수치도 정상 수치를 보였다. 제거한 난소는 조직검사 결과 난소 섬유종으로 진단되었다.
