Plain-English summary
An Arabian mare was brought in for evaluation of a tumor on her right ovary, known as a granulosa-theca cell tumor (GTCT). Four and a half years later, she returned with a similar tumor on her left ovary, but had successfully given birth to a healthy foal in between. The occurrence of these tumors on both sides is uncommon in mares. The mare's condition was monitored, and she was able to conceive and deliver without complications despite the tumors.

Abstract
An Arabian mare was referred for right granulosa-theca cell tumor (GTCT) evaluation. The mare was presented 4.5 years later for a left GTCT, after successfully conceiving and delivering a normal foal in the interim. The concurrent or nonconcurrent occurrence of bilateral GTCT in mares appears to be rare.
