Abstract

An abattoir-based study was carried out to assess the neoplasms affecting the ovaries of buffaloes. A total of 200 pairs of ovaries from 3 to 12 years old she buffaloes carcasses were examined and collected for routine histopathological studies. Ovarian neoplasms were recorded in 12 animals accounting for 6% and in all the cases the involvement was unilateral. Epithelial tumours were recorded in 6 cases (three each in right and left). Histologically, all the epithelial tumours were adenomas and were further sub-classified as simple adenoma (3 cases), fibro-adenoma (2 cases) and a solitary case of papillary cystadenoma. Sex cord-stromal tumors were recorded in 4 cases that included a solitary case of granulosa cell tumour in the right ovary and luteoma in 3 cases (one in right and two in left). Among the tumours of mesenchymal origin, haemangioma was observed in 2 cases involving each of left and right ovary.
